Honours BSc in Pharmacology (Specialist) - St. George in Toronto Canada | University of Toronto

Pharmacology and Toxicology are interdisciplinary life sciences that explore the characteristics of chemical substances and how they interact with biological systems. These fields establish the foundational knowledge for understanding chemical effects in healthcare, utilizing medications as treatments or research tools, creating and regulating pharmaceutical products, and studying environmental toxins in both natural and societal contexts. The Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology provides four Specialist and two Major undergraduate programs, collaboratively offered by the Faculties of Arts and Science and Medicine. The Specialist tracks offer enhanced advantages, including training in sophisticated laboratory methods and practical experience through guided research initiatives and involvement in the Arts & Science Internship Program (detailed below). Aspiring graduate researchers or professionals in pharmacology or toxicology are advised to choose a Specialist program to benefit from these hands-on learning opportunities.
