The Vocational Training Center (VTC) was established on 14 October 1975 under the Department of Electricity to train a large number of workers required for the growing industrial and economic activities of the nation. VTC, which was under the Ministry of Education since 9 May 1982, was transferred to the Ministry of Planning, Human Resources and Environment on 11 November 1993. When the higher education system was established on 1 October 1998, on 1 January 1999, VTC came under the Maldives College of Higher Education (MCHE) and changed to Maldives Institute of Technical Education (MIT). On 1 February 2001, became the Faculty of Engineering Technology (FET). In 2010, FET branched out and an institute called Maldives Polytechnic was established to offer courses below the undergraduate programs. FET’s new academic structure included of civil engineering, architecture, electrical electronics and mechanical engineering. On 23 January 2011, FET's Bachelor of Architectural Design course started.

“I chose MNU because the services provided at MNU are well worth the fees. At MNU, I have gained a lot of valuable experiences and lessons, not only in class but through activities such as sports, entertainment and those geared towards life skill development and preparing you for life. I have been studying various courses at MNU for a total of six years now, and in that time I find that everyone from the teachers to the office workers, work very well to give us the quality education expected of MNU.”
