BSc Biomedical Engineering

Biomedical engineering applies engineering principles to healthcare, from designing prosthetics to maintaining hospital equipment. This degree at Valley View University, offered through the Faculty of Science, prepares you to work where technology meets medicine. If you are considering this path, here is what you need to know.

What biomedical engineering actually involves

Programmes of this kind typically combine biology, chemistry, and engineering. You will learn how to design and improve medical devices, diagnostic tools, and treatment systems. Most courses cover anatomy, physiology, signal processing, materials science, and electronics. You build problem-solving skills, practical lab competence, and an understanding of how technology supports patient care.

How hard is it to get in at Valley View?

Entry into Valley View University's biomedical engineering programme is less competitive than the same programme at University of Ghana or KNUST, both of which are highly competitive. The Faculty of Science accepts students from Agricultural, Business, and General Science backgrounds. As with any degree, your grades will need to meet the published requirements, but the lower competition means you are not up against the same high demand as at the larger public universities.

Where biomedical engineering can take you

Graduates typically move into hospitals, medical device manufacturers, research labs, and health technology firms. Common roles include maintaining and managing medical equipment, designing new devices, or supporting clinicians in using complex technology. The degree also provides a foundation for further study in medicine, engineering research, or health administration.
