MSc Applied Toxicology - Surrey

MSc Applied Toxicology

About the programme
The Modular Training Programme in Applied Toxicology at the University of Surrey is designed to provide in-post scientists with the opportunity to obtain advanced training and a higher qualification in toxicology. Participants include employees in government departments, contract laboratories and pharmaceutical, chemical and consumer product industries.

This part-time modular training programme has been running in its present form since 1992 and is now the largest training programme of its type in Europe; it has participants from all over the world including the United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Austria, Israel, Zimbabwe, South Africa, United States and New Zealand.

Who is the programme for?
The participants in the Modular Training Programme are normally science, medical or veterinary graduates (or equivalent) either currently working in a toxicology environment or seeking to use a knowledge of toxicology in some area of their careers.

The Modular Training Programme is ideal for research managers, regulatory affairs specialists, occupational and environmental health scientists and physicians, research scientists and anyone who needs to keep abreast of the developments in modern toxicology without having to enrol on a full-time training programme. Although formal qualifications are normally required for registration as an MSc candidate, no such requirements apply to participation in a training module.

Entrance Requirements
Applicants who wish to read for the MSc/Postgraduate Diploma will normally possess a minimum of a science degree in a relevant subject. In addition, applicants are expected to have at least one year's experience in a related area. Registration for the MSc/Postgraduate Diploma in Applied Toxicology also requires the submission of the names of two suitable scientific referees who are willing to support the application.

Application to register for a higher award will normally take place following the first or second module attended by a candidate. Retrospective registration is permitted provided not more than 4 modules have been completed.

There are no formal entrance requirements for course participants not wishing to register for the MSc/Postgraduate Diploma, although a scientific background to at least degree level is recommended.

Courses are limited to a maximum of 30 participants and early booking is recommended to avoid disappointment. A reservation may be cancelled up to four weeks before a course without penalty. However, any cancellations after this deadline will incur charges of 75% of the total fees due. No refund will be provided in the case of cancellations in the week preceding the course.

Competence in both written and spoken English is a prerequisite.
