In 1984, the polytechnic became the hub of initial teacher training due to the inauguration of the City College of Education. Further, the Northern Counties College of Education was also incorporated in 1976.

In addition to nurse training, the polytechnic also started offering occupational therapy and physiotherapy training in 1976. Finally, in 1992, the institute was granted the status of a university.
