B.Sc. in Medical Laboratory Technology (MLT)
The Bachelor of Science in Medical Laboratory Technology (B.Sc. MLT) is a comprehensive undergraduate program designed to equip students with the essential skills and knowledge to work as professional laboratory technicians in medical settings. The course focuses on the study of laboratory techniques, diagnostics, and the use of advanced medical instruments for analyzing blood, urine, and other bodily fluids to aid in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases. Students will learn about various laboratory disciplines, including clinical biochemistry, microbiology, hematology, immunology, histopathology, and blood banking. They will gain hands-on experience in laboratory procedures, quality control, and diagnostic techniques, as well as understanding the ethical and safety standards required in clinical labs. The B.Sc. MLT program is ideal for those looking to pursue a career in medical diagnostics, working in hospitals, diagnostic centers, research institutions, and public health laboratories. Graduates can also explore roles in teaching, research, or in the development of new medical technologies. Upon completion, students will be well-prepared to perform laboratory tests, analyze data, maintain laboratory equipment, and support healthcare teams in clinical decision-making. The program also offers the opportunity for further specialization or postgraduate studies in related fields such as molecular biology, medical research, or laboratory management.
