About
History
The foundation stone for the future University of Siegen was laid by the “Meadow Building School”, founded in 1853 and known beyond the country's borders. After the Second World War, the focus of the training shifted towards civil engineering. Since 1962, the school has therefore been called the "State School of Engineering for Construction".
Education
The overall goal of the University of Siegen is to contribute to a decent future and to take responsibility for people and society. This is expressed in the guiding principle of the University of Siegen: Shaping the future humanely.
Research
The University of Siegen is a dynamically developing, internationally recognized, medium-sized university with a clearly visible research and teaching profile. As a creative place of education, research and innovation, it has positioned itself in the science-political sphere to form an opinion and positioned itself as a visible European university. The university's research profile is based on the guiding principle “Shaping the future of human beings”. In the context of the progressive and increasingly intensely mediatized and autonomously technized digitization, sensory and nanotechnological developments penetrate rapidly and often without reflection into all areas of our lives.

Student Reviews
Burocrazy
Anonymous rated 2 out of 5 stars
Too much burocrazy! Everything takes extra long and lots of things to fill out. Focus is on little formalities, not student orientated! The professors are mostly very slow in answering as well. My immatriculation took place one month after the semester started because of burocratic issues that weren't my fault.
Learn as much as you can, Go as far as you want :)

The lecturers are expertise is second none and the mode of learning is excellent. The way the lecturers responds to email is so amazing and make the program to be fascinating. The only problem is the network issue as I studied online due to Covid 19 pandemic that makes Visa processing to be cumbersome. Aside that, I have not have any campus or onsite University experience...
