It was the first university in Albania when it was founded in October 1957 as State University of Tirana (Universiteti Shtetëror i Tiranës) by joining five higher institutes. Between 1985 and 1991 it was called Enver Hoxha University of Tirana (Universiteti i Tiranës "Enver Hoxha"; after the First Secretary of the Communist Albanian Party of Labour, Enver Hoxha).
