UE opens med tech degree program in Manila with tuition discount

The University of the East (UE) is now open to aspiring medical technologists with its maiden offering of Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology/Medical Laboratory Science (BSMT/MLS) in Manila.

The university’s newest degree program in its Manila campus is under its College of Arts and Sciences and will start freshmen classes in the first semester of school year 2025-2026 this July.

This year’s pioneer UE BSMT/MLS enrollees will enjoy a P10,000.00 discount on tuition and other school fees for the first semester.

A four-year program consisting of general education and professional courses, BSMT/MLS is aimed at producing health care professionals who can perform clinical laboratory procedures needed for the proper diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, and prevention of diseases; can apply critical thinking skills in medical technology/medical laboratory science; and can engage in research and community-related activities, among others.

Prior to graduation, UE BSMT/MLS students will undertake laboratory internship with rotational duties in clinical chemistry, hematology, microbiology, immunohematology or blood banking, and other emergent technologies.

Career opportunities for the program’s graduates include becoming licensed medical technologists/medical laboratory scientists, diagnostic molecular scientists, research scientists, educators, diagnostic product specialists, public health practitioners, and healthcare leaders.

This marks the second pre-medicine UE Manila degree program, after its continued offering of Bachelor of Science in Biology with two choices of track: Medical Biology, and Ecology and Biodiversity.
