Since November 2011, the IUBH has been offering distance learning courses for Bachelor and Master degrees.

Building: "Mother Campus" in Bad Honnef

Former bishop's court (around 1910)

The university started its operations in 1998 in the “ Feuerschlößchen ”, the former residence of Wilhelm Girardet , north of Bad Honnef city center. In 2000 she moved to the former site of the St. Anno commercial school south of the city center on the western edge of the Beuel district , which stretches between Mülheimer Strasse in the north, Linzer Strasse in the west, Fuckengasse in the east and Ohbach in the south. The historic buildings, which are listed as historical monuments , form the center of the campus. In 2005 it was expanded to include two new dormitories and a new cafeteria. In February 2007 a new administration building with a library (200 places), 15 seminar rooms for around 400 students and 18 offices were inaugurated.

The castle-like structure of the former St. Anno commercial school, which has a tower, goes back to the medieval “bishop's court” of the Archbishopric and Electorate of Cologne . It was the seat of an Electoral Cologne bailiff and served as a winery ("Tafelgut"), which supplied the Electoral Cologne state in particular with wine. The Cologne elector and archbishop had his own court there , whose district he tried to expand against the resistance of the Lords of Löwenburg . After secularization through auctioning in 1826, the former bishop's court belonged to the Ditges family from Cologne until 1917, who rebuilt the tower in the neo-Gothic style, expanded the court and ran a guesthouse in it. In 1927 the school brothers of St. Johannes de La Salle from the Maria Tann monastery in Kirnach / Villingen and set up an alumnate (student residence) for the municipal high school there. During the Nazi era , the facility was closed in 1941, confiscated by the Secret State Police (Gestapo) and the school brothers expelled. In 1946 the school brothers reopened it as the St. Anno commercial school - named after the Archbishop of Cologne, Anno II. - with boarding school, which was officially recognized as a public commercial school in January 1949. In 1953 an extension was built. In 1987 the school was closed. The annexes from the 19th century, which are not listed, were removed during the renovation for the university.

In Düsseldorf, the IUBH's dual study department is located in the former Haribo building, which is now a listed building.
