The university was created in 1955 as the official university of Congo and Rwanda-Urundi (French: université officielle du Congo et du Rwanda-Urundi) by the University of Liège and opened in 1956. It was one of the institutions merged into the National University of Zaire in 1971. It was re-established as an autonomous university in 1981 when the National University of Zaire was split up. In May 1990 Zaire's government violently suppressed student protests on the campus, killing several students and destroying parts of the campus.
