Course content and qualification objectives
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.
