Until the end of 2004, the University of Applied Sciences was funded by the Federal Government of Germany. From 2005 it became an establishment of the German Federal State of North Rhine-Westphalia; since 1 January 2007 it has been an autonomous body of public law as defined by the German Higher Education Autonomy Act (Hochschulfreiheitsgesetz, HfG).The University of Applied Sciences was renamed into “Hochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg” on 1 January 2009, with the German abbreviation being “HBRS”; the international title “Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences” (short forms: Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University, BRSU) has been retained. In October 2011, Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University joined the European University Association (EUA).
