There is however critical skill gap at the national and African regional levels for the evaluation of the safety of these drugs and druggable substances before application.&nbsp;The M.Sc. Biomedical Toxicology programme is therefore designed to fill this skill gap by building capacity in biomedical&nbsp;toxicological&nbsp;evaluation&nbsp;and&nbsp;protocol&nbsp;development.&nbsp;The&nbsp;programme&nbsp;will&nbsp;train&nbsp;middle&nbsp;level professionals that upon graduation will have learnt and be able to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>identify, createand maintain&nbsp;standards protocol&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;field&nbsp;of&nbsp;Toxicology&nbsp;for drug&nbsp;research&nbsp;and<\/li>\n<li>build a career and\/or employment in industrial, academic, government, non-governmental and other organizations toward contribution to national and regional development and excellent healthcare delivery.<\/li>\n<li>provide a breach for the skill gaps by giving services in applications fundamental principles as well as current concepts related to mechanisms of toxicity for the investigation of biomedical toxicity of various classes of natural, environmental and synthetic chemical substances such as<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><em>Admission<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>Requirements<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A&nbsp;candidate&nbsp;for the&nbsp;M.Sc.
