Applicants should start with the live program page as language, semester start, academic prerequisites and selection rules vary. Applicants use the H-BRS application pathway assigned to the program and qualification; international credentials may need to be reviewed by uni-assist or the institution. For international qualifications there may be a specific credential-review route. For applicants for a Master’s they may be asked to provide module descriptions so that the responsible committee can compare it with the chosen degree. Admission is not the same as enrolment: an admitted applicant still needs to complete the document, health-insurance and payment steps mentioned in the offer. Doctoral study can be pursued in affiliation with faculty, graduate schools, or cooperative arrangements, and requires a suitable project and academic supervision.

Generally, H-BRS does not charge tuition fees for regular degree study. The university will pay a contribution of €367.00 for the winter semester 2026/27, with different rules for special or continuing programs. Course-specific exceptions are still possible, particularly for professional, continuing-education, joint, or cooperative study. Students should, therefore, budget for costs in addition to the published institutional charge for housing, insurance, learning materials, travel, and any program-specific costs. The funding can be provided through BAföG if you meet the requirements, the Deutschlandstipendium, foundations, mobility grants, project employment or doctoral support. However, every funding has its own application and selection process.

Career preparation reflects the academic profile of the university and not a placement guarantee. In the federal, international, technology, research, manufacturing, security and nonprofit sectors, career contexts are available in the Bonn/Rhine-Sieg region. Internships, practical projects, research assistantships, employer events, entrepreneurship support, international experience and early use of career counselling can all have a reinforcing effect on outcomes for students. H-BRS is for students who want an international applied university close to Bonn with strong study in computing, science, engineering, business and policy. The best candidates will consider the curriculum, language of instruction, entry rules and location in relation to their own academic background before applying.
