Overview
About this Degree
Pharmaceutical Sciences encompass all aspects of the delivery, development, administration, and utilization of therapeutic drugs. Research-intensive programs of study are offered in a wide range of areas leading to a Master of Science.
Graduate students may also participate in a wide variety of collaborative specializations offered at the University of Toronto and/or internships which provide the opportunity to gain experience in a pharmaceutical or biotech company or in global health placements around the world.
The Graduate Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy offers students in the physical, biological, clinical, and social sciences a challenging and rewarding research-intensive program leading to the MSc degree. The result is an educational program that encourages multidisciplinary approaches to problems and collaboration between students and faculty members. Graduate students participating in this process are immersed in a challenging program that equips them with new ways of thinking and provides them with multiple tools to approach problems.
