You want information on universities offering Medical Laboratory Science (MLS) in Nigeria?
Here you have it.
In fact, it’s the best thing to do, especially seeing you want to study Medical Laboratory Science.
This is because, it will not only help you decide on a university to study this dream course of yours, it will also enable you study at a university where Medical Laboratory Science is accredited.
More importantly, it will determine where you study as a university in your state might not have MLS.
Surprised?
Not all schools in Nigeria are accredited to offer Medical Laboratory Science.
And so, I will show you the universities accredited by the National Universities Commission (NUC) and Medical Laboratory Council of Nigeria (MLSCN) in this post.
Just so you know, the MLSCN is the body responsible for regulating the Medical Laboratory Science profession.
Medical Laboratory Science is a great course to study. That’s why you want to get enrolled.
In fact, it’s one of the courses in Nigeria with a great chance for employment and self-employment.
Right? I agree with you, considering the low amount of job opportunities in Nigeria.
Though one can’t be so sure of job placements in this country, though some fields of study present a greater chance. One like Medical Laboratory Science.
But then, you need to start and finish first.
