The Belfast Institute of further and Higher Education (BIFHE) is a higher education institution in Belfast, Northern Ireland. It specialises in vocational education, but offers academic qualifications also.
The Institute encompasses a number of different campuses around the city. The largest are the Millfield Campus and College Square East building. College Square East is known colloquially as the 'Black Man Tech'. This is because of the black marble statue of Dr Henry Cooke, a leading 19th century Irish Presbyterian, which stands outside the building.
The College Square East campus specialises in courses involving computing, technology and the three traditional sciences (Biology, Chemistry and Physics). Millfield specialises in sports and social sciences. The institute offers courses from GCSE level to GNVQ and undergraduate courses. The Belfast Institute also has main campuses in Brunswick Street, Whiterock and in Tower Street.
The Belfast Institute was formed in 1991 with the amalgamation of The Belfast College of Technology, The College of Business Studies and Rupert Stanley College of Further Education.
Past students include ITN's John Irvine.
