| Description: |
Toxicology is the study of toxic effects of chemical substances on living organisms and their environment. Chemical and Drug Safety Sciences assess and quantify the potential risk of chemicals and pharmaceuticals to which humans and the environment are exposed, thus providing the
necessary basis for protection measures. The pregraduate Master of Sciences in Toxicology provides theoretical and practical skills in toxicology, with a major focus on drug safety sciences. |
