Characteristics of the MSc Medical Laboratory Science

Audio visual study material
- You will have access to many hours of audio visual materials, which are essential teaching materials. Thus, you can study wherever and whenever you want.

Practical activities
- Approximately twice a week you will carry out practical activities that will be reviewed and evaluated by your specialized teachers.

Complementary material
- Class summaries, articles to stay up-to-date... You will have everything you need to keep on learning.

Master class
- You will learn from well-known experts in the medical sector thanks to our master classes, which you can watch as many times as you want.

MSc / PGDip final project
- At the end of the course you will conduct a research project on a topic of your interest. One of our teachers will supervise your project.

What clinical laboratory equipment will you use?

In our MSc Medical Laboratory Science syllabus, you will find a specific section dedicated to the diverse equipment and materials of a clinical laboratory. In the introductory module, you will also learn the basics of cleaning, disinfecting and sterilising laboratory equipment and materials.

To further develop your knowledge, you will also have the opportunity to carry out professional internships in a range of companies. This way, you will be able to become familiar with the different machines and the most advanced equipment used for spectroscopy and centrifugation, as well as with mixing, separation, vacuum, and thermal techniques.
More and more clinical laboratories demand qualified professionals. With this  MSc or PGDip Medical Laboratory Science, you have the opportunity to get key training to enter the job market and apply for important positions in the healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors.

Some job opportunities available to Medical Laboratory experts  can be found in hospital laboratories, research centre laboratories, genetic engineering technology centres, pharmaceutical laboratories, assisted reproduction centres, and forensic laboratories, to name a few.
