Berner Fachhochschule

The Bern University of Applied Sciences  is a public vocational university with a strong national and international profile. It comprises six departments and also incorporates the Higher Technical School of Wood, which is affiliated to the Department of Architecture, Wood and Civil Engineering.

In 2012, the parliament (Grand Council) of the Canton of Bern decided to bring together the Department of Architecture, Wood and Civil Engineering and the Department of Engineering and Information Technology onto one campus in Biel. The Biel campus is expected to open in Autumn 2021.[1] The consolidation of the Department of Business, Health and Social Work and the Bern University of the Arts onto one campus in Bern is planned for Autumn 2023.
