The engineering departments cordially invite you to Engineering Day 2023!

Open Day of the Krefeld Engineering Departments

Our graduates prove it: after completing a bachelor's degree at our faculty, one third go straight into employment without having written an application.

You can find some testimonials here...

"As a long-time employee of a local service company involved in maintenance work in the raw materials processing heavy industry, studying mechanical engineering was the next logical step for me. I decided to study at The Hochschule Niederrhein after attending the "Day of the Engineer". I particularly liked the authenticity and the close contact and exchange with the university teachers / lecturers, which is very important to me. Thanks to this closeness and some of the contacts of the university teachers / lecturers, I was able to apply my newly acquired knowledge directly to real tasks in a company during the practical phase. The content of the IWA modules and previous project assignments helped me to work on the tasks in a structured manner and with the necessary care. In addition, the modules taught me not only how to gather information more efficiently, but also how to evaluate it critically. As a result, I am starting the bachelor phase with the necessary self-confidence and am optimistic about my subsequent career entry."

Thomas B. (Bachelor student in mechanical engineering)

"I associate my time at The Hochschule Niederrhein with very fond memories. It is a place of hard work, but also of personal development and cohesion. I was allowed to learn as a student and teach as a tutor, a taking and giving and learning from each other. Later, a partnership with Bob-Dioulasso University in Burkina Faso also came about. That was a great success! In studies, as I'm sure many students have experienced, you first learn to work independently, efficiently and effectively. The university teachers / lecturers were a great help in this.

I still remember Professor Schüffler, in whose lecture I solved a differential equation and suddenly everyone started applauding... I'll never forget that. I guess being a math tutor was worth it then! If I had to choose again, it would be mechanical engineering at HSNR again!"

Mathias B., M. Sc. (Engineer at SMS Group, Mönchengladbach)

And what would the presidents study?

Both the former and the current president of the Hochschule Niederrhein would study at our faculty! Both revealed this in different interviews with the Rheinische Post:

"If you were a student again and wanted to study at the Hochschule Niederrhein, which Degree programme would you choose?".
Prof. von Grünberg (president of the university from 2010-2020):
"That's a nice question. I think I would study mechanical engineering. The Bachelor 's degree programme is very well supervised." (RP, February 7, 2020).

"If you had to register for a Degree programme now, what would it be?"
Dr. Grünewald (president of the university since 2020):
"Mechanical engineering, probably. I studied history and politics, but always had at least an equal interest in engineering and technology. Yes, I could well imagine mechanical engineering " (RP, April 7, 2020).
