Career Opportunities: 

A laboratory is a structure in which scientific experiments are performed under conditions the scientist is capable of manipulating. B.Sc Laboratory Technology is a science-based programme, which trains students in the techniques needed to run laboratories. The students are trained in minute measurements and analysis of cells of living things, as well as analysis of elements, atoms and molecules. They are also trained to validate the quality of equipment used in the laboratory, calibration of these equipment, and how to properly record research results in the laboratory. Students are taught how to control conditions like temperature, humidity, and pressure, among others in the laboratory to suit the experiment or research work being undertaken. Students are trained in how to ensure aseptic and microorganism free environments in the laboratory, and how to ensure that there is no contamination of materials being analysed. This is a very critical aspect of the programme because contamination could result in wrong results after analysis, which is particularly dangerous in the field of medical laboratory technology. Safety techniques are also covered in the programme so scientists do not endanger their lives in undertaking any laboratory procedure. 

The main objectives of the programme are: i. to train high caliber laboratory technologists to manage laboratories of educational institutions, industries and research establishments in line with objectives of the current educational reforms, ii. to produce graduates with technical skills who with further training could function as teachers in technical education.
