Sustainable Engineering (BEng)

In the first two semesters, students learn the basics of engineering and natural sciences. Topics such as renewable energies or ethics create the basis for an understanding of sustainability. In the third and fourth semesters, the focus is on modules such as sustainability and life cycle analyses or energy efficiency. The fifth semester is the practical semester. Alternatively, students can complete a semester abroad. In the sixth and seventh semesters, students deepen their knowledge. the programme concludes with the Bachelor's thesis and colloquium.

Graduates of our Bachelor's degree programme in Sustainable Engineering (B.Eng.) are qualified for many industries. Careers in energy generation and distribution as well as jobs in industrial companies, planning offices and energy consulting are possible. The degree programme also qualifies students for work in product development and product management, at public utilities, authorities and municipalities in the energy and mobility sector.

H-BRS offers the precisely tailored subsequent Master's degree programme Sustainable Engineering Science (M.Eng.) or alternatively Electrical Engineering (M.Eng) and Mechanical Engineering (M.Eng.).

An essential part of the programme is to apply the knowledge acquired in a practical and solution-oriented manner: In laboratory practicals, for example, students test renewable energies and draw up life cycle assessments. Three project weeks take place each semester, alternating with four weeks of lectures. They offer the opportunity to work on projects in small teams. Final theses can be written in cooperation with companies or research institutes.

The city of Sankt Augustin with the university campus borders the city of Bonn to the north-east. The state university is easy to reach by public transport from Cologne, Bonn, Düsseldorf or Koblenz. The campus is modern and the classrooms, laboratories, workshops and library are excellently equipped. Small study groups enable good contact with other students and lecturers. The university is well networked and cooperates with around 90 foreign universities in more than 40 countries.
