Develop advanced laboratory research skills to progress your career in the field of toxicology. We'll enhance your understanding of the interaction of toxins with molecular targets, target organ toxicity, and the role of the immune system in the response to toxins. You will learn about specific tests used in both research and industry, such as toxicological screening programmes used by drug and medical companies. We will build up your ability to analyse scientific literature and how to present scientific information, improving your presentation and communication skills. You will have access to a variety of research projects which align with the expertise of our staff, including toxicity testing using cell culture methods and developing smart bandages for wound care. You might be a recent graduate looking to continue your studies to a PhD level, focusing on strengthening your skills and gaining more time on projects within a practical laboratory environment. Or you could be working within industry and wanting to advance your career - we can help you progress from a laboratory assistant to a laboratory analyst, designing investigations and analysing the data.

You will be able to enter a wide range of careers, from working in scientific laboratories in pharmaceutical companies to developing further investigative and innovative research. Our course will provide the expertise you require to secure employment in laboratories in commercial industries such as food manufacturing or chemical facilities, where you will utilise your research and lab skills.
