Second level, Full time The Masters Programme in Toxicology aims to give advanced understanding of how toxic substances affect biological systems at molecular, cellular and organism levels. The programme is multidisciplinary and includes many different subjects that interact with each other. The identification and synthesis of chemical substances for the development of new products are increasing exponentially. Society, at the same time, is placing ever higher requirements that chemical substances and products are to be safe for health and the environment, increasing in this way the need for qualified toxicologists. You will yourself choose courses within the programme that will create a personal profile for your expertise, including cellular, genetic and biochemical toxicology, biochemistry, the biology of cancer, environmental chemistry, radiation biology and ecotoxicology. You can choose between two main specialisations: environmental toxicologist or radiation biologist. You will also carry out a degree project at the department that is responsible for the programme: Genetics, Microbiology and Toxicology (GMT). A Masters degree in Toxicology opens career opportunities within official bodies and within industry. Industry and modern society require advanced knowledge in toxicology, and the requirement is particularly large for research and development within biotechnology, pharmacology, and the pharmaceuticals industry. Toxicologists have traditionally had an important function within these fields, and this will be extended in the future into the food industry, quality control of foodstuffs, and nutritional sciences. A further important field for toxicologists is radiation biology, where such topics as our use of nuclear energy and new technology such as mobile telephony have become important. The Masters Programme in Toxicology at Stockholm University is, of course, also admirably suitable for those who plan to continue into research.
