Hochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg is a state-funded university of applied sciences in the Bonn region of North Rhine-Westphalia.

Its roughly 9,000 students study at three campuses: Sankt Augustin, Rheinbach and Hennef. The university describes itself as practice-oriented and research-active, with short distances between lecture halls, laboratories and staff offices.

Teaching is organised in five departments: Business Administration, Computer Science, Engineering and Communication, Applied Natural Sciences, and Social Policy and Social Security. Together they offer around 40 bachelor's and master's programmes, from electrical and mechanical engineering to business psychology, cyber security, forensic science and social protection.

Some programmes are taught in German, others in English or in both languages, and several are available in a cooperative format with an employer.

The university emphasises small study groups, modern equipment and a personal atmosphere. Students can join clubs and projects such as a Formula Student racing team, a robotics team, student media and a hacking team.

Prospective students can use general study advice, orientation events and information days, and international applicants have a dedicated information section. Many bachelor's programmes are open admission, while others use a local admission restriction, so the application route depends on the programme.
