In 1973, the University of Libya was split into two independent universities. All the colleges (faculties) located in Tripoli joined the new University of Tripoli while those located in Benghazi joined the new University of Benghazi (later renamed Garyounis University).

In 1976 the University of Tripoli was renamed Al Fateh University[2] after the student unrest in April, 1976, where pro-government students chanted Al Fateh.[3][4]

In 2007 a separate Al-Fateh University of Medical Sciences was established in Tripoli, that included the colleges of Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy and Medical Technology.[3]
