Overview
M.Sc. in Medical Laboratory Technology is a two-year postgraduate programme that emphasises the use of clinical laboratory equipment while educating students about patient care and accurate diagnosis. There are a variety of fascinating courses offered, including those in molecular biology, biochemistry, and human anatomy and physiology.
Throughout the course, students learn about a variety of diseases, their diagnoses, therapies, and ways of prevention. They are also instructed to emphasise doing clinical tests correctly so that a doctor can make a precise diagnosis. It primarily focuses on treatments that will be utilised to treat illnesses once they have been identified, through correct application and oversight. After completion, this course is quite advantageous because it opens up a lot of doors for opportunities with professional scopes in different industries and departments.
