Medan State University (Indonesian: Universitas Negeri Medan) or UNIMED is a public university located in the city of Medan in North Sumatra region, Indonesia.
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]
