About the School

The School of Allied & Healthcare Sciences at CMR University prepares the next generation of healthcare professionals through a learning environment that blends interactive classroom sessions with digital and app-based modules. Students engage with concepts actively, apply them in real time, and build a strong foundation for clinical and administrative roles across the healthcare sector.

Each programme, from Optometry and Medical Laboratory Technology to Hospital Administration, Anaesthesia & Operation Theatre Technology, and Medical Radiology & Imaging Technology is shaped by an industry-aligned curriculum created with expert insight. These programmes are delivered with a digital learning approach, combining interactive classroom sessions, hands-on practice, and a curriculum aligned with industry demands.

Real-World Training in Healthcare Settings

Students gain practical experience throughout the course. They train in modern laboratories, use advanced medical equipment, and take part in supervised internships at leading hospitals and diagnostic centres. This prepares them for real roles in real healthcare environments.
