AASTU was founded in 2011 under the Directive of the Council of Ministers No. 216/2011 by admitting the first batch (2000 students) in November 2011. Currently, the university has enrolled nearly 8000 undergraduate and close to 750 postgraduate students under its five applied science, technology, engineering and ICT focused colleges and in the coming few months, AASTU will begin more than 10 PhD programs.
Due to the high emphasis given to the university by the government, AASTU is re-structured as strategic Science and Technology University under the directive of the Council of Ministers No. 314/2014. Accordingly, its accountability has shifted from the Ministry of Education (MoE) to the Ministry of Science and Technology (MoST).
