Bergen Teacher Training College

The school was established in 1953 under the name Statens lærerskoleklasser i Bergen (Bergen State Teacher Training School).

Bergen Preschool Teacher School (Barnevernsskolen i Bergen), which was established in 1948, became part of the school in 1972, and the following year the State Home Economics Teacher Training College (Statens lærerskole i heimkunnskap), which had been established in 1950, was also incorporated into the school.

In 1994, the school was incorporated into Bergen University College.
