Master In Medical Laboratory Science

Conducted by University of Medical Sciences and Technology (UMST) Sudan and Capital University (CU) in Somalia

Introduction of the Program

This is a full-time program that enables professionals who hold a bachelor’s degree in medical laboratory science to prepare for advanced clinical, technical, and administrative career opportunities. Through courses, and research projects, students enhance their proficiency in a chosen medical laboratory science discipline: clinical chemistry, hematology, histopathology, parasitology or microbiology. Certification of a master degree in medical laboratory sciences in different disciplines is available upon completion of specific requirements.
-The program has three course sequence areas in which students take advanced theoretical
courses: general course sequence, specialty course sequence and research course sequence.
A thesis as a partial fulfillment to the course is required

Accreditation: The Master degree program is accredited by Sudan of the Ministry of Higher Education.
Credential Conferred
