New Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences building
Distinctive look
Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences will move into its new building on Campus North in 2013.
Some 8,300 students are preparing for their future careers at Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences’ three sites in Bielefeld, Gütersloh and Minden. An academic staff of 190 supplemented by specialist teachers provide the students with a modern, practical education and training in a spirit of partnership. They work in cooperation with experts from business, the administrations, social work and the arts. In addition there are about 300 people working in research, teaching and administration.
Courses available include Design, Engineering, Science, Social Science and Economics along with Nursing and Health Sciences. The Department of Architecture and Building Engineering is located at the Minden campus, which is undergoing extensive modernisation and also includes a new Technology Department. The Gütersloh site offers practical bachelor’s courses in Industrial Engineering and Mechatronics/Automation.
Campus Bielefeld will consolidate Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences at a single site with a new look. The different disciplines will be able to study, teach and research here under one roof for the first time, with excellent facilities and the very latest equipment. That will stimulate interdisciplinary cooperation, which is a major aspect of the entire campus.

Ideal environment for studying and teaching
The new building right next to the University of Bielefeld will replace the present Bielefeld locations in the main university building, Wilhelm-Bertelsmann-Straße, Am Stadtholz and Kurt-Schumacher-Straße. Initially this will provide the Departments of Engineering and Mathematics, Social Science, Business and Health along with the central facilities with an appropriate setting in which to study and teach. The Department of Design is located in a building on Lampingstraße in Bielefeld, on the edge of the Bürgerpark, and will move into the new building later on.
The new central building on Campus North is intended to create identity and give Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences a distinctive and high-profile look. As well as the internal synergistic effects the University of Applied Sciences hopes that Campus Bielefeld will generate closer cooperation with the University.
