Bachelor of Science in Medical Laboratory Technology

Empowering Tomorrow’s Diagnostic Scientists — Precision, Discovery, and Care

Program Introduction

The Bachelor of Science in Medical Laboratory Technology (BS-MLT) is a comprehensive 4-year (8-semester) undergraduate program that combines scientific theory with advanced diagnostic practice. It aims to prepare students to become highly competent medical laboratory technologists, capable of working at the heart of the healthcare system.

Medical Laboratory Technologists are the invisible heroes behind accurate diagnosis, disease detection, and monitoring of patient health. Through their expertise in clinical chemistry, hematology, microbiology, immunology, molecular biology, and pathology, they support physicians in making evidence-based medical decisions that save lives.

At Buch International College of Nursing & Allied Health Sciences, the BS-MLT program offers a perfect blend of academic excellence, clinical exposure, and hands-on laboratory experience. Students are trained under expert supervision in modern, well-equipped diagnostic labs and affiliated teaching hospitals, ensuring professional readiness for national and global healthcare systems.
