The BSc Medical Laboratory Technology (MLT) curriculum includes core subjects that focus on diagnosing and analyzing diseases. Key topics include clinical biochemistry, which deals with biochemical analysis of body fluids, and microbiology, which studies microorganisms and their role in infections. Pathology and hematology cover disease mechanisms, blood disorders, and blood cell analysis. Immunology focuses on the immune system and its responses to infections, while blood banking teaches the collection, testing, and storage of blood for transfusions.
Additionally, the curriculum includes diagnostic techniques, where students learn about modern laboratory instruments and methods for disease detection. Histopathology covers tissue examination for identifying abnormalities, and cytogenetics explores genetic disorders. Medical ethics, laboratory safety, and quality control are emphasized to ensure accuracy and reliability in testing. The course also integrates research methodology and biostatistics, enabling students to analyze medical data. Practical training in clinical labs helps develop hands-on skills essential for a career in medical diagnostics.
