Combined Honours Programmes

Toxicology (Major, Joint or Minor)

Campus: Stratford

Why Study Toxicology as part of a Combined Honours Degree?

Toxicology is the study of Poisons. Poisons (toxicants, toxins, xenobiotics) are substances that when taken into the body cause injury or death. In the toxicology programme you will study amongst other things the nature of these poisons, how they are detected, what damage they do and why. You will examine the options available for dealing with these substances and will examine the research methods which have led to our current knowledge.

What will I study?

The aim of the programme at UEL is to introduce the students to all aspects of toxicology, in particular: Toxicity testing, Mechanistic toxicology, Environmental Toxicology and Regulatory Toxicology.
This programme offers extensive laboratory training through all years and opportunities for work placement
The programme also shares a common first year with other Bioscience degrees at UEL, providing an opportunity to transfer between programmes at the end of the first year

Which modules will I study?

You can view a full guide to the modules you have to study as part of your chosen pathway, along with a full range of option modules available by viewing the Single & Combined Honours Programmes Guide for Toxicology.

Can I study a Combined Honours Programme as a Part-time degree?

All our Combined Honours Programmes can be studied on a Part-time or Full-time basis. As a Part-time student, you will study the same degree programme, but at a slower pace. You will study up to 4 modules per year (instead of 6 as a full-time student).
