Renewable energies, electromobility, mobile communications and aerospace - without electrical engineering, there would be no way to utilise and control these technologies. The challenges of the future in particular, such as the energy transition, digitalisation and sustainable mobility, make this discipline essential for modern life. The practice-oriented Bachelor's degree programme in Electrical Engineering (BEng) prepares students for a career with a secure future.

Course content and qualification objectives

The field of electrical engineering ranges from the development of electronic components for process variable measurement and actuators to microprocessors and PLC controls to networked process control systems. This requires engineers from various disciplines such as electronics, circuit and digital technology, and information technology. The challenge for engineers is to find innovative and sustainable solutions to future problems. The programme offers cross-semester courses covering topics ranging from renewable energies, e-mobility and energy harvesting to energy management in IT systems and sustainable product development.

Course structure

In the first two semesters, students acquire the fundamentals of mathematics and physics. They gain a basic knowledge of electrical engineering, measurement technology, computer science and materials science. They also improve their English language skills. In the following profile year (3rd + 4th semester), students focus on a specialisation. They can choose between automation technology and electronic systems. In parallel, there are additional modules and two practice-oriented projects. The fifth semester is a practical semester, which can be completed in Germany or abroad.

Prospects and job opportunities

Automation shapes transport, vehicle construction and almost all industries. Graduates with a B.Eng. in Electrical Engineering are in high demand because they can develop electronic systems, design control systems, program embedded software and implement sustainable solutions. Building on this, H-BRS offers three master's programmes: Electrical Engineering (MEng), Mechanical Engineering (MEng) and Sustainable Engineering (MEng).

Practical relevance and teaching formats

An essential part of an engineering degree at Hochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg is applying the knowledge you have learned in a practical and solution-oriented way:

  • in laboratory practicals, where, for example, physical principles are tested and materials are examined.
  • during the three project weeks per semester, which offer the opportunity to work on projects in small teams.
  • during an internship semester in Germany or abroad, during which students gain their first work experience.
  • in the final thesis, which can be written in cooperation with companies or research institutes.

Study location and learning environment

The town of Sankt Augustin, where the university campus is located, borders the city of Bonn to the north-east. The state university is easily accessible by public transport from Cologne, Bonn, Düsseldorf and Koblenz. The campus is modern, and the classrooms, laboratories, workshops and library are excellently equipped. Small study groups facilitate good contact with other students and lecturers. The university has a strong network and cooperates with around 90 foreign universities in more than 40 countries.
