B.Sc. Medical Laboratory Technology (B.Sc. MLT)
A 4-year undergraduate course for students who want to work in medical and diagnostic laboratories.
Laboratory science behind diagnosis
Medical laboratory professionals test samples such as blood, urine and tissue. Doctors rely on these results to detect disease, plan treatment and track how a patient is doing.
B.Sc. MLT prepares students to carry out these tests accurately and safely, handle laboratory equipment, and understand what the results mean.
Who this course suits
- Students who enjoyed biology and chemistry in 10+2
- Students who like careful, detailed, hands-on work
- Students interested in healthcare outside direct bedside care
