COURSE OVERVIEW

The B.Sc. in Medical Laboratory Technology at The Apollo University is a 4-year undergraduate allied health programme, divided into six semesters and one year of internship. It provides practical and theoretical knowledge on diagnosing, treating, and preventing various diseases and health problems using clinical laboratory tests.
Throughout the programme, students perform diverse and multi-level functions in collecting, processing, and analysing biological specimens and other substances, as well as in applying principles and methodologies, conducting assays, and using problem-solving and troubleshooting techniques. They also learn to correlate clinical procedures and results, and understand the principles and practices of quality assessment across key areas such as clinical chemistry, haematology, microbiology, immunology, blood banking, cytology, and molecular biology in contemporary clinical laboratories.
Programme Objectives
At the completion of the B.Sc. MLT programme, students will be able to:
- To provide a comprehensive knowledge to the students with respect to various
techniques of testing that are conducted as a part of diagnosis of various diseases - To train the students to carry out laboratory investigations accurately and provide
reliable reports to facilitate proper diagnosis and prognosis of diseases. - To enable to perform routine as well as special investigative procedures in different
specialties of Medical Laboratory Technology. - Communicate effectively with laboratory personnel, other health care professionals, patients and the public.
