History

The school traces its origins to the North University (Romanian: Universitatea de Nord din Baia Mare (UNMB)), a former public university founded in 1974, under the name of Higher Education Institute (in 1991, changed into Baia Mare University, and from 1996, North University). In 2011, the UNBM Senate voted to affiliate with the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca. The fusion process ended with the 2012 academic elections.
