About the course

Combines computer science and electronics: the first four semesters cover electrical engineering, physics, computer science and maths, then you specialise in areas such as artificial intelligence, information security, drone technology or business. Semester six is an internship or semester abroad, and optional bridging courses run before the start.

Entry requirements for Irish students

  • Germany’s rules (KMK/anabin) say the Leaving Certificate gives direct university entry only with the right subject mix: six subjects including two languages and Maths (O5/H6 or better), at least two at Higher Level H5 or better, the rest at O6/H6 or better. For engineering you also need Higher Level Maths at H5 and a Higher Level science at H5. LCA and LCVP are not accepted. HSRW publishes nothing Ireland-specific, so confirm with admissions or uni-assist.
  • Places are limited: if there are more applicants than places, you are selected mainly on your school grade, converted to a German grade (numerus clausus).
  • English at B2 level is required. Check HSRW’s accepted English proofs list or ask admissions whether your Leaving Cert English counts.

How to apply

  1. Register on hochschulstartCreate an account on hochschulstart.de to get your applicant ID and authentication number (DoSV), well before 15 July 2027.
  2. Apply via uni-assistSubmit your application and documents through uni-assist, quoting your hochschulstart IDs, before 15 July 2027.
  3. Watch for an offerAdmission letters usually come at the beginning of August; accept promptly. The waiting-list procedure follows in late August or early September.
  4. Enrol and moveEnrol at HSRW, pay the semester contribution and arrange housing in or near Kamp-Lintfort before 1 September 2027.
Leaving Cert students: results come out in August, after this deadline, and uni-assist doesn’t accept predicted Leaving Cert grades. If you’re applying with 2027 results, check with the university before relying on this date. This deadline still works if you already have your results.
Deadline for Irish/EU applicants: Winter semester entry only (starts 1 September). The published deadline is 15 July. The course is allocated through the DoSV procedure: HSRW says you first register on hochschulstart.de to get your applicant ID and authentication number, then apply via uni-assist (for non-German qualifications). Admission letters usually go out at the beginning of August, with the waiting-list procedure in late August or early September. 2027 dates are expected to follow the same pattern; confirm on the programme page..

Costs

  • No tuition fees. You pay a semester contribution of €365.10 per semester for winter 2026/27 (about €730 a year), which includes a Deutschlandticket (€226.80) for travel across Germany. uni-assist charges its own handling fee for checking your application; check the current amount on uni-assist.
This is a restricted course allocated through hochschulstart (DoSV) and ranked on your converted Leaving Cert grade, so register on hochschulstart.de before applying through uni-assist.
