FFHS is a public Swiss university of applied sciences that operates as an open, distance-learning institution. It is based in Brig, Valais, and was founded in 1997, with the first students starting in autumn 1998. Education combines distance study with day-long sessions at regional centers in Zurich, Basle, Bern, and Brig, organized into three faculties: the Business School, the Computer Science faculty, and the Engineering faculty. The institution serves learners seeking flexible, work-friendly higher education, addressing the demand for open-access study within Switzerland's higher education landscape. In late 2023, FFHS participated in GOhack23 in Zurich, a collaborative event with GObugfree.
