20 Courses a PCB Graduate Can Pursue After Form 6
If you studied Physics, Chemistry, and Biology (PCB) at A-level, you have a wide range of opportunities after graduation. Beyond the traditional path of becoming a doctor, there are many highly employable and future-focused programs you can explore.
A popular choice is the Doctor of Medicine (MD), leading to careers as a medical doctor or physician. For those interested in medicines and drug science, Bachelor of Pharmacy (B.Pharm) offers expertise in preparation, dispensing, and clinical use. Another rewarding field is Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSc Nursing), which prepares students for professional nursing care and leadership roles in healthcare.
Students passionate about lab work can pursue Bachelor of Medical Laboratory Technology (MLT), focusing on diagnosing diseases through blood, tissue, and fluid testing. Closely related is Bachelor of Radiology and Radiographic Technology, which involves using X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs for imaging. In the growing field of eye care, Bachelor of Optometry opens doors to vision testing, correction, and advanced clinical practice.
Rehabilitation and physical health are also promising areas. The Bachelor of Physiotherapy (BPT) focuses on mobility, rehabilitation, and pain management, while Bachelor of Cardiovascular Technology equips graduates to work with cardiologists in diagnosing and treating heart conditions. Similarly, Bachelor of Anaesthesia Technology and Bachelor of Renal Dialysis Technology are highly specialized programs that support surgical and kidney care.
Other fast-growing courses include Bachelor of Medical Imaging Technology, Bachelor of Clinical Medicine (especially valuable in rural areas), and Bachelor of Public Health, which trains experts in epidemiology, disease prevention, and health promotion. With healthcare increasingly going digital, Bachelor of Health Information Management prepares students to manage medical records and hospital IT systems.
For those drawn to patient rehabilitation, Bachelor of Occupational Therapy helps people recover essential life skills after illness or injury. On the research side, Bachelor of Biomedical Science and Bachelor of Biotechnology provide pathways into laboratory work, pharmaceuticals, and biotech industries.
Emergency care is another high-demand area. Programs such as Bachelor of Emergency and Trauma Care Technology prepare graduates to be frontline responders, while Bachelor of Nutrition and Dietetics focuses on health through food and lifestyle planning. Finally, Bachelor of Forensic Science combines medicine and law, training students to analyze crime scenes, toxicology, and medical evidence.
Highly Employable & Future-Focused
Many of these programs are not yet common in Tanzania, which makes them strategic choices for students who want to stand out. Careers in optometry, cardiovascular technology, dialysis, anesthesia, and trauma care are in high demand across private hospitals, government health facilities, and even in international markets. Very few Tanzanians currently pursue them — meaning graduates gain a strong competitive edge.
Studying in India – Affordable & Accessible
The exciting news is that all these programs are available at top universities in India, and most come with a 50% scholarship. The total cost after scholarship is only about USD 3,000 per year, which includes:
Tuition
Hostel accommodation
Meals (3 times a day)
Airport pickup and visa support
This is an incredible opportunity for Tanzanian students to access world-class medical and allied health education without breaking the bank.
With the right guidance, PCB graduates can choose from 20+ career paths that go far beyond medicine, opening doors to exciting and rewarding futures both locally and globally.
