Faculty of Engineering, Science and Technology
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. On 19 June 2011, Electrical and Electronics courses started at Kulhudhufushi and Hithadhu campuses. The faculty expanded its teaching further and in August 2013, and science was added to the name along with science subjects.

“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.”
“MNU was truly the foundation of my teaching career. The teachers who taught me provided a well-rounded experience, which I believe is essential for becoming an effective teacher. The education and guidance I received at MNU prepared me to excel in my profession and make a positive impact on the lives of my students.”
