What you'll study

The program has well designed courses which lay a strong foundation in biomedical and clinical laboratory sciences with a good mix of theory and hands-on practical sessions.

All students are encouraged to take elective training within the country and abroad during their summer and winter breaks in either research or diagnostic laboratories as per their interest and choice. Students are posted in the CAP-accredited diagnostic and referral laboratories of the Thumbay Group in the last semester which prepares them well for future work.

Research is an important part of the program. Students do a mandatory hands-on Research Project in the final year, which is facilitated by the Thumbay Diagnostic Laboratories, Thumbay Research Institute for Precision Medicine and the Thumbay Hospitals which are all a part of the Academic Health System.

On successful completion of the program, BBMS graduates will be able to work as technologists in clinical/research laboratories or in the medical diagnostics industry or pursue further graduate studies.

The program provides students with an excellent foundation for further graduate studies in fields such as Genetics, Molecular Diagnostics, Cancer Biology, Immunology, Clinical Chemistry, Toxicology, Microbiology, Neuroscience, Public Health etc.
