History

Initially known as the Teachers Training College, Medan State University (MSU) was established in 1956. It is one of the oldest universities in the country with rich history (Indonesian : Perguruan Tinggi Pendidikan Guru) in Medan. On 27 August 1957, the college was absorbed into the University of North Sumatra as a result it became the university's Faculty for Teachers Training and Education (Indonesian : Fakultas Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan). [1]

As a result of the establishment of a branch campus of the Institute for Teachers Training and Education in Medan on 23 June 1963, the faculty gained autonomy (Indonesian : Institut Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan or IKIP). In 1964, the Physical Education faculty was separated from the institute and was established as the Sports Institute (Indonesian : Sekolah Tinggi Olahraga) only to be reintegrated back into IKIP Medan system in 1977. [1]

On October 7, 1999, IKIP Medan received university status. It was re-opened as Medan State University in February 2000, upon granting and receiving the university status. [1]
