法医毒理学硕士课程结合了分析化学，生物化学和药理学的各个方面，这些方面对于在毒理学环境中工作的药物化学家的作用至关重要。虽然本课程的主要重点是滥用药物，但基础科学和方法学与从事制药或其他相关行业的毒理学家分析化学家同等重要。作为法医毒理学家，您可能会被要求在法院提供证据，而这一重要方面的培训是通过“专家见证”模块提供的，其中包括模拟法庭陈述。除了获得对学科领域的良好理论理解外，整个课程还特别强调发展实践技能。
MSc Forensic Toxicology combines aspects of analytical chemistry, biochemistry and pharmacology that are crucial to the role of the drugs chemist working within a toxicological environment. While the primary focus of this course will be drugs of abuse, the underpinning science and methodologies are equally relevant to a toxicologist analytical chemist working in the pharmaceutical or other related industries. As a Forensic Toxicologist you may be called to provide evidence in a court of law, training in this important aspect is provided through an Expert Witness module which includes a moot court presentation. In addition to acquiring a sound theoretical understanding of the subject area there is a strong emphasis on developing practical skills throughout the course.
