History
After the reunification of East and West Germany in 1990, Berlin was chosen as capital of the new, united Germany. In 1994 an agreement was reached to compensate Bonn in various ways for this loss of status and income. As an integral part of this agreement, the H-BRS was founded on the joint initiative of the federal parliament of Germany and the federal government of Germany, the parliament of the German federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia and the federal state government of North Rhine-Westphalia. The University is specifically aimed at providing new academic tuition and research capacities and at making a contribution to the advancement of the economic area through practical projects and co-operation with business and industry.

From the University into the world
With a view to the changing requirements of the job market, H-BRS sustainably supports periods of study abroad. Summer Schools are already suitable for students during their early semesters. It is compulsory to study at least one foreign language. The Language Centre, which is an integral part of the University, offers approximately 25 languages, with a focus on technical language. The University cooperates with approximately 80 foreign universities in about 40 countries. In the winter semester 2018/19, the proportion of international students enrolled at Hochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg is roughly 16 percent.
