The Future Skills Competence Model at Hochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg

Description of the competency model

The three areas shown in the model below correspond to the defined areas of competence:

• Digitization and AI = #skills_4_the_digital_age
• Sustainability and transformation = #skills_2_transform
• Classic key qualifications = #skills_4_life

These are supplemented by the subject-specific skills marked in yellow. These consist of: 

• Digital expertise = #digital_expert
• Sustainability-related expertise = #sustainable_expert

The specific learning objectives for subject-specific skills vary depending on the degree programme and arise from the in-depth study of digitisation and sustainability topics in the subject context.

To operationalise the competence model, qualification goals valid throughout the university were formulated for the three interdisciplinary competence areas (#skills_4_the_digital_age, #skills_2_transform, #skills_4_life). These serve as a framework for the curricular design of degree programmes and support the systematic integration of Future Skills into existing and future courses.

The qualification goals are deliberately designed in such a way that they can be continuously reflected upon, further developed and, if necessary, adapted in order to respond to new social, technological or labour market requirements. A list of competencies was derived from the qualification goals, which describes all Future Skills individually once again.
