Science Laboratory Technology, popularly known as SLT is a course offered at both polytechnics and universities.
You can either have a National Diploma in SLT from a polytechnic or a BSc. SLT from a university. But on this piece, I’ll be showing you courses available for direct entry at university. That is, if you have an ND in SLT.
So you have an ND in SLT? Are you wondering which course you can study at university with an ND in SLT?
Worry no more. This post contains 7 courses you’re eligible to study at university if you have a National Diploma in Science Laboratory Technology.
By the way, aspirants often ask this question….. ‘is SLT a medical course?’
SLT is a basic science course, comprising of physics, chemistry, and biology. Though, a good knowledge of SLT can also be applied in medical field, it is not directly a medical course.
From this assertion, just know that Science Laboratory Technology (SLT) and Medical Laboratory Science (MLS) are not the same. They are entirely two different courses.
Haven known that, let’s proceed with showing you the courses you can study at university with ND SLT through direct entry.

Courses to study at university with HND in SLT
If you hold a Higher National Diploma (HND) in Science Laboratory Technology (SLT), you are eligible for direct entry admission into the underlisted courses at any university in Nigeria.
1. B.MLS. Medical Laboratory Science
2. B.Pharm. Pharmacy
3. B.Sc. Human Nutrition and Dietetics
4. B.Sc. Physiotherapy
5. B.Sc. Radiography
6. All courses in the faculty of science
Those are the courses you can study with ND or HND in SLT through direct entry at university, or at polytechnic with ND for the HND programme.
In case you are wondering why you didn’t see a medical course there, you observed right. The fact is, an ND in SLT does not qualify you for direct entry admission into any medical course.
Since most universities don’t accept ND SLT for direct admission into medical courses like medicine, pharmacy, nutrition and dietetics, physiotherapy, medical laboratory science, nursing, or radiography. the only way you can study any of those courses is by rewriting jamb or doing your HND.
