About the Programme
The Bachelor of Medical Laboratory Science (BMLS) is a four-year undergraduate programme comprising three years of academic study (six semesters) followed by one year of compulsory clinical internship. The curriculum integrates core biomedical sciences with advanced diagnostic laboratory training in microbiology, clinical biochemistry, haematology, immunology, histopathology, and molecular diagnostics. During the internship, students undergo structured rotational postings under expert supervision to develop technical proficiency and professional competence. The programme prepares skilled medical laboratory scientists who generate accurate and reliable diagnostic data, playing a vital role in disease diagnosis, treatment monitoring, and strengthening modern healthcare systems.
