Postgraduate Studies

First-semester courses are composed of four modules for all the students and one elective module. 

Similarly, the second-semester courses include four modules for all the students and one elective module. 

Modules

The program in the first year is integrated to provide all the medical laboratory science elements that a medical laboratory scientist practitioner requires as follows: 

• Biostatistics
• Economic production 
• Research Methodology 
• Molecular Parasitology
• Human physiology
• Pharmacology
• Bioinformatics
• Hematology
• Advanced Virology
• Advanced Biochemistry
• Advanced Bacteriology and Mycology
• Advanced Clinical Immunology
• Advanced Molecular Biology
• Advanced Histopathology
• Advanced Parasitology
• Clinical biochemistry and laboratory management.

Biostatistics and research methodology courses will allow the students to design the research protocols for testing their hypothesis through an investigatory and analytical approach. The didactic courses of all training elements will be concentrated in the first year of the program to optimize the use of faculty time and help the students lay strong theoretical foundations of medical laboratory science.

Third and Fourth semesters

The program’s second year will be devoted to research work in any subspecialty. This includes writing a proposal, conducting laboratories and/or clinical works related to the proposal, and writing the thesis. Students will carry out the work independently under the guidance and supervision of a dedicated supervisor. Later, the thesis will be evaluated by an examining committee as VIVA.
