LET'S BEGIN........



To work in Ireland as a Medical laboratory scientist, you must be registered and licensed by a body called CORU which is equivalent to MLSCN (in Nigeria).


When is it okay for me to start applying to work in Ireland as a Medical laboratory scientist?

Once you graduate, got your degree certificate and some experience. Your NYSC and internship are part of your experience provided you worked in a medical lab within those periods.

Do you need to make 2:1 (Second Class Honors, Upper divisions) to apply?
No, you don't need to.

Not the same profession.

MLSCN regulates Medical Laboratory Scientists and Technicians, and SLT curriculum does not measure up.
