Master of Science in Toxicology

The Post Graduate Toxicology program is a 2-year advanced course focused on the scientific study of the harmful effects of chemicals, drugs, and biological agents on living organisms. This multidisciplinary program combines principles from biology, chemistry, pharmacology, and environmental science to understand toxicity mechanisms, risk assessment, and safety evaluation. It prepares students for careers in healthcare, pharmaceuticals, regulatory bodies, and environmental agencies.

Students are introduced to key areas such as environmental toxicology, clinical and forensic toxicology, industrial safety, neurotoxicology, and regulatory toxicology. The curriculum includes both theoretical concepts and practical training, with emphasis on laboratory testing, toxicokinetics, exposure analysis, and safety protocols. Case-based learning, workshops, and research projects help students apply knowledge in real-world scenarios.

Graduates of the program are equipped to work in industries related to chemical safety, drug development, environmental monitoring, and public health. They are trained to assess chemical risks, conduct laboratory analyses, and contribute to policy-making regarding chemical exposure. The course also serves as a strong foundation for further research or Ph.D. studies in toxicology and related fields.

Course Requirement

The Post Graduate Toxicology program is ideal for students with a background in life sciences, chemistry, or medical sciences. It aims to develop scientific and analytical skills essential for toxicology careers

  • Bachelor’s degree in Toxicology, Biochemistry, Pharmacy, Zoology, Chemistry, or related disciplines.
  • Minimum qualifying marks as per university norms.
  • Interest in drug safety, environmental health, or chemical analysis.
  • Basic understanding of biology, pharmacology, and lab practices.
  • Admission through entrance test or merit-based selection.

Professional Experience & Education

Students gain hands-on experience through laboratory experiments, toxicological screenings, and field-based environmental monitoring. Opportunities for internships with pharmaceutical companies, environmental testing labs, or research institutions offer practical exposure. The program includes collaborative research projects, case studies, and expert lectures, preparing students for roles in safety assessment, risk analysis, and regulatory compliance. Upon graduation, students hold a Master’s degree in Toxicology, qualifying them for careers in healthcare, industry, or doctoral studies in biomedical and environmental sciences.

Program Outcome

Graduates will :

  • Understanding of toxic agents and their biological effects.
  • Proficiency in lab techniques for toxicity testing and exposure assessment.
  • Ability to evaluate chemical risks in pharmaceutical and environmental contexts.
  • Preparedness for careers in drug safety, regulatory affairs, and toxicological research.
  • Foundation for pursuing Ph.D. or advanced research in health and environmental sciences.
