Be part of the professionals of the future and contribute your knowledge to the study of the toxic components of food, thanks to this postgraduate certificate" 

Food Toxicology is an important branch within the health sciences, as it focuses on the identification, evaluation and control of risks associated with toxic substances in consumer products. In addition, it allows the implementation of prevention strategies, integrating them within a framework of consumer protection and the construction of balanced diets. 

With this in mind, TECH has developed a postgraduate certificate program that is focused on training students on a wide range of topics, ranging from the most essential concepts of Food Toxicology, to the evaluation of food and its contaminants. The contents also provide an in-depth look at the historical evolution of this area and the processes of bio-transformation of toxics. 

In addition, students will also learn about the different mechanisms of toxicity, genetic and environmental factors that modify them, with the aim of enhancing their skills in the management of the elements related to these and the application of effective strategies to mitigate their effects within the organism. 

All this, thanks to the innovative Relearning methodology, which allows students to study from home and have greater time flexibility, as they will have access 24 hours a day to the multimedia resources they will find on the online campus. In addition, you will be able to strengthen your skills and increase your ability to make decisions, as you will analyse practical cases that will place you in a real-life scenario. 

The main objective of TECH is your goals and with this programme, you will get the necessary tools to achieve them"
