Students can pursue an MSc in Biomedical Sciences, specializing in areas such as Reproductive Biology; Developmental, Cell and Tissue Morphology; or Biomedical Toxicology, Pharmacology, and Neuroscience. Thesis research projects offer diverse options, covering molecular, cellular, immunological, or developmental studies of growth and differentiation, as well as physiological, morphological, or biomechanical analyses of normal functions and disease mechanisms across various organs and tissues. Additionally, projects may explore pharmacological principles related to therapeutics and drug toxicity. The program offers two pathways: a conventional two-year thesis-based MSc track and a one-year MBS option combining coursework with a research component.

Key research focuses include clinical pharmacology and toxicology, particularly involving domesticated and laboratory animals. Investigations examine therapeutic drugs and environmental chemicals using both in vitro and in vivo experimental models.
