The Certificate in Science Laboratory Technology is a five-semester program designed to provide students with foundational knowledge and practical skills for working in scientific laboratories across various industries. This program prepares learners to assist in conducting laboratory tests, maintaining laboratory equipment, and ensuring accurate data collection while following safety and quality standards.
The curriculum covers essential topics such as basic chemistry, microbiology, physics, laboratory techniques, equipment handling, and safety procedures. Students gain hands-on experience in laboratory practices and learn to work with industry-standard tools and technologies. The program also emphasizes the importance of maintaining laboratory safety protocols and performing accurate and reliable experiments.
A three-month industrial attachment offers students the opportunity to gain practical experience in real-world laboratory settings, working in sectors such as healthcare, environmental monitoring, food testing, and research. The department also supports student development through its Science Laboratory Club, providing mentorship, networking, and participation in industry-driven projects.
