A university of applied sciences (German: "Fachhochschule"), the Trier University of Applied Sciences established in 1971, is situated in Trier, Birkenfeld, and Idar-Oberstein (Germany). The Trier University of Applied Sciences has three campuses in Trier (main campus Schneidershof), Birkenfeld (Environmental Campus Birkenfeld), and Idar-Oberstein. It is important to distinguish the Trier University of Applied Sciences from the University of Trier (Universität Trier in German).
