ISE (Instituto Superior de Educação, High Institute of Education) in Palmarejo, Praia, created under the decree-law 54/95 of October 2, 1995
ISECMAR (Instituto Superior de Engenharias e Ciências do Mar, High Institute of Engineering and Marine Sciences) in Mindelo, created under the decree-law 40/96, of October 21, 1996
INAG (Instituto Nacional de Administração e Gestão, National Administration and Management Institute), in Praia, created under the resolution of 24/98 of October 21, 1998
In 2007, a fourth school officially joined the others: INIDA (Instituto Nacionai de Investigação e Desenvolvimento Agrário) in São Jorge dos Órgãos. Under the law-decree no. 29/2008 on October 9, ISE, ISECMAR and INAG were eliminated.
In the first years of its existence the school received help from King Henry VIII in teacher training and the exchange of administrative experiences. In 2014, both the university and the Camões Institute of Lisbon, Portugal created Eugénio Tavares Chair of the Portuguese language in order to boost research of teaching of Portuguese in Cape Verde. In January 2014, the rector of the university was elected for the first time. Out of three candidates, Dr Judite do Nascimento won. She was re-elected in March 2018.
