It gives me immense pleasure to welcome you to the Centre for Vocational Studies. The Centre was established with an objective to promote skill-based higher education at IUST. At present we are offering an undergraduate level programme leading to B.Voc. in Medical Lab and Molecular Diagnostic Technology. This course helps students build expertise in performing medical laboratory tests, such as those related to phlebotomy, clinical biochemistry, haematology, serology, cytogenetics, analysis of body fluids, etc. Besides, skills related to lab management and ethics, biomedical waste disposal, personality development, effective communication skills, aptitude development, numerical ability, etc are also taught for the holistic development of students. Through this teaching programme we provide quality education to promote a culture of entrepreneurship that can generate employment for sustainable livelihood. We intend to become a hub of medical diagnostic startups resulting in cutting-edge biomedical innovations that will transform the healthcare of the local and global population. If you’re a prospective student, I wholeheartedly welcome your application and encourage you to browse the Centre webpage to know more about our faculty, programme details, syllabus, and facilities. We offer a very vibrant and intellectual environment to learn and progress. I look forward to seeing you soon at IUST.
