College of Medical Technology (Karachi Campus)

Ziauddin University first established its Medical College in 1995, laying the foundation for excellence in healthcare education. Recognizing the essential role of allied health professionals, the College of Medical Technology was founded shortly after in 1998. This early establishment highlights the University’s commitment to advancing medical technology as a vital pillar of modern healthcare.

We offer a BS in Medical Technology across eight clinical disciplines, supported by interactive teaching methods, regular evaluations, and fair, competency-based assessments.

  1. Cardiovascular Sciences
  2. Cardiac Perfusion
  3. Clinical Laboratory Sciences
  4. Dental Hygiene and Technology
  5. Nuclear Medicine
  6. Neurosciences
  7. Radiation Therapy
  8. Radiological Imaging

Our students train in advanced simulated labs and gain real-world exposure through clinical observation at accredited healthcare sites.

A strong student support system, along with active student councils and leadership opportunities, ensures both academic and personal growth. At Ziauddin, we equip students with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to succeed in today’s healthcare landscape.
