The MSc (Cheminformatics and Toxicology) at the University of Galway offers you an integrated training pathway into two critical areas of modern scientific research and industry. You will develop a highly marketable skill-set by combining computational analytics with a deep understanding of toxicology, preparing you for impactful careers in the pharmaceutical sector or regulatory bodies focused on chemical safety. This programme is ideal for science graduates seeking to bridge the gap between computational methods and biological safety assessment, equipping you with the expertise demanded by today's scientific landscape.
This full-time, on-campus Masters degree, studied over one year, immerses you in a dynamic learning environment. You will engage with fundamental concepts in pharmacology, applied and advanced toxicology, and statistical computing with R, alongside programming for biology and computational approaches to drug design. Through guest lectures from industry regulators and a significant independent research project focused on real-world toxicity assessment, you will gain practical experience. You will graduate with the analytical and research skills essential for roles in drug development, chemical safety assessment, and bioinformatics.
