Founded in 1995, the Hochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg is a dynamic and research-oriented university of applied sciences. Students follow practice-oriented courses of study based on current research findings in around 40 degree programs. Research at H-BRS is also conducted intensively and in a hands-on manner - numerous research institutes cover a wide range of topics from detection technologies, genetics, sustainable development, resource conservation, security research or visual computing.

Located in the central west of Germany and in the heart of western Europe, the Bonn-Rhein-Sieg region is just a short train ride away from European neighbours and has great access to all of Germany. The city of Bonn is full of history, dating back to the Romans, it has played a significant role in post war German history. From 1949 to 1990 Bonn was the capital of Western Germany. As a result, the ‘Small’ city has a very international flair and hosts over 20 United Nations organizations and is the UN headquarters for sustainable development issues.

The topic of sustainability has had a central place in the university development plans over the last 15 years. The success of the university's orientation towards sustainability is reflected in a wide range of modules, study programmes, research institutes and projects of various kinds. This also includes green campus concepts on the premises, in the buildings and in the other infrastructures. Aspects of sustainability will be taken up and expanded in the coming years in the core areas of teaching, research and transfer as well as in the design of infrastructures, buildings and processes. One of the goals is to ensure that all students are familiarized with general and subject-specific aspects of sustainability in their degree programmes and courses.
