Tibiscus University started operating in 1991 as a
limited liability company called the Institute of Studies and Continuing Education which organized university study programs, authorized to operate according to the legislative provisions of the time. In time, the institute changed its form of organization so that the study programs passed from the company, which was disbanded, to the association of the same name, ISEPT
Tibiscus. In 1995, ISEPT
Tibiscus founded, along with two other private structures, the Romanian Association for Unconventional Technologies and the Federation of Associated Farmers in Timiș County, a union called the Augusta Foundation. Tibiscus University bears this name since 1998, established by court decision and confirmed by newer acts of the
Romanian Agency for Quality Assurance in Higher Education, the
Ministry of Education and the
Romanian Parliament. All this culminated in the decision of the Ministry of Education in 2018 to liquidate all university study programs and transfer existing students to other universities. At the same time, the Ministry of Education found that the university did not have a statutory management and a proper university charter. Also, the university was not allowed to organize an admission session at any of the four faculties. However, after the sacking of the university management by court decision in November of the same year, the Ministry of Education allowed Tibiscus University to draw up a new university charter and hold general elections for the Senate and rector. == Faculties ==
