Bharath Institute of Higher Education and Research (BIHER) has a history that dates back to 1984 when its predecessor the Engineering College was established.

The state is known for its numerous historical buildings, religious temples, three World Heritage sites, beautifuk beaches and bustling cities.

Academically the university is divided into six schools, namely architecture, dentistry, engineering and technology, medicine, nursing, and physiotherapy. Each school offers courses at both undergraduate and graduate level.

Since 2003 the university has engaged in a range of research activities. It boasts state-of-the-art facilities and fully equipped laboratories that are available for both students and staff. The university is committed to producing innovative research in order to develop knowledge and to educate the community.

The university’s academic and research excellence has been recognised in recent years.
