Master of Science in Clinical Laboratory Science

About

The MSc in Clinical Laboratory Science programme equips graduates with the skills and knowledge to apply evidence-based diagnostic solutions to support clinical decision making to advance quality healthcare delivery and improve patient outcomes. In addition, the programme aims to provide graduates with the competency to critically evaluate cutting-edge scientific, technological, and bioinformatic developments in Medical Science and to enable them to carry out (and supervise) research and development to advance healthcare diagnostics. Taken together these skills and expert specialist knowledge will enable graduates to perform effectively and advance their practice in a variety of diagnostic settings, including hospital pathology laboratories, diagnostic research facilities and the Medical Science industry sector. The programme provides a framework to support lifelong learning and personal development in the evolving and dynamic field of Medical Science.

This course is accredited by the Academy of Clinical Science and Laboratory Medicine (ACSLM). It part-fulfils the criteria for employment as a senior medical scientist (see acslm.ie for further information).
