The Department of Computer Science at Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences offers a diverse portfolio of Bachelor’s and Master’s programmes that combine solid theoretical foundations with practical, application-oriented learning. At the Bachelor’s level, students can choose from Computer Science, Business Informatics, Cyber Security & Privacy, and Cooperative Computer Science. At the Master’s level, the department offers Computer Science, Cyber Security & Privacy, as well as two English-taught programmes: Autonomous Systems and Game Technologies (MSc).

The Institute of Visual Computing (IVC) is a research institute at the forefront of computer graphics, human–computer interaction, computer vision, visualization, XR (AR, MR, VR), and artificial intelligence. We conduct both fundamental and applied research, combining academic excellence with real-world impact. Our work is deeply rooted in knowledge transfer, high-quality, hands-on teaching, and close collaboration with industry across multiple disciplines.

Our facilities include the state-of-the-art Visual Computing Lab, home to the impressive curved multi-display wall HORNET, enabling large-scale, high-resolution visualization research. We also operate a modern Game Studio within the Department of Computer Science, equipped with cutting-edge consoles, graphics workstations, and VR systems to support student-led game development and experimentation. The studio is home to the H-BRS GameDev Team, where students from various disciplines join forces to design, develop, and showcase innovative games at national and international events.

Beyond the classroom, we participate in dynamic initiatives such as annual Game Jams, create applied solutions like MyJong – Flexi-MahJong, a gamified learning tool blending education and interactive design, and develop Sensorium+, an AR-based intelligent platform that delivers inclusive, multisensory museum experiences. As the coordinator of the Games Technology Network (GTN)—a consortium of four universities in North Rhine-Westphalia—we actively foster collaboration between research and industry to shape the future of game technology.

At the Tokyo Game Show, we present insights into our cutting-edge academic programmes and offer networking opportunities to explore international partnerships, industry collaborations, and student exchange initiatives, including our mobility semester in Japan.
