The MBS is a one-year graduate program focused on coursework, culminating in a significant research project guided by a Faculty Advisor. Created as a shorter alternative to the MSc program, the MBS doesn't require a comprehensive written thesis. Many students choose this path when they're uncertain about pursuing a thesis-based degree or when seeking to enhance their qualifications for professional programs. Those who develop a passion for academic research during their MBS studies can transition to the MSc program before their third semester, allowing them to pursue a thesis-based graduate degree.
Research in this program emphasizes clinical pharmacology and toxicology, particularly involving domesticated and laboratory animals. Studies examine therapeutic drugs and environmental chemicals through various in vitro and in vivo experimental approaches.

Letters of reference from two individuals who can adequately evaluate the academic and research capabilities of the applicant must be provided with the application. In addition, a short statement of the applicant's area of interest and career goals is required to assist in the selection of faculty advisors. Provisional acceptance may be granted to students who do not meet this 'B+' standard if there is additional evidence that the applicant is capable of successfully completing the graduate program (e.g., outstanding letters of recommendation, or evidence of prior relevant work or research experience). Transfer to regular status will normally be recommended when the student obtains a minimum grade of ‘A-’ in their first two graduate course and displays current research ability to their advisory committee. These courses will be credited to the degree program.
