The university campus in Iserlohn was the location of a British military hospital until the 1990s. The site is located near the Seilersee in the eastern part of the city of Iserlohn, not far from the A 46 . The lecture rooms are located in the main building of the campus, which is directly adjacent to the neighboring boarding school on the Seilersee . Opposite building B 7 are the cafeteria and a dormitory with around 80 apartments. In a competition organized by Unicum magazine , the campus was voted the third most beautiful university site in Germany.

Since the 2012/2013 winter semester, BiTS has also offered some of its courses on the newly established campus in Berlin. The BiTS Campus in Berlin is located at Dessauer Straße 3–5, not far from Potsdamer Platz.

Another location was added in Hamburg in the 2013/2014 winter semester. On October 1, 2014, the BiTS started its semester on a new campus in Hamburg Altona together with the BTK - Hochschule für Gestaltung in Museumstrasse 39 directly at the Altona train station.

After BiTS was renamed University of Applied Sciences Europe (UE) and the previous merger, Berlin and Hamburg have been the official campus locations of UE since 2017.
