In 1978 these branches changed to become departments and two departments were added to the faculty in the same year (Department of Pasture and Forests and Department of Home Economics). In 1995 the Department of Hydroponics was established at the faculty and the Department of Political Culture was created in 2002 bringing the total number of departments in the faculty to twelve, in addition to the general department that students have a preliminary year before joining specialized scientific departments.

. It was the first Engineering faculty established in Libya. In 1967, the faculty joined the University of Libya and was called the Faculty of Engineering. In 1972; the Faculty of
Petroleum Engineering was established at the University of Tripoli, joined by the Faculty of Engineering and the Faculty of Science in 1973. The Faculty of Engineering and other faculties were the core of the University of Tripoli. In 1978, the Nuclear and Electronic Engineering Faculty joined the university. In 1985, the Faculty of Petroleum Engineering was merged with Faculty of Engineering according to the policy of connecting faculties and high institutes with engineering research centers. In 1988, the Nuclear and Electronic Engineering Faculty was merged into the Faculty of Engineering.
The Faculty of Engineering has a leading role in its scientific career. In response to this development, the Faculty of Engineering made changes in its academic courses and academic structure. The Faculty of Engineering changed from four departments to fourteen departments to meet the needs and requirements of Libyan society and to achieve its aims and visions.

Faculty of Medicine
Faculty of Medicine was initially planned as part of the main university, but was given more autonomy and a separate administration. It is still, however, geographically adjacent to the main campus in southeast Tripoli. The main teaching hospital is the large Tripoli Medical Center known locally as the TMC. Other teaching facilities are Tripoli Central Hospital, Alkhadra Hospital and Tripoli Children Hospital [Aljala Hospital].
After the completion of 6 academic years of Undergraduate Education, all Medical Graduates are awarded the degrees MBBCh (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery).
After seeing that Libyans were going abroad for medical treatment and deciding it was because of a lack of Libyan doctors, the late leader Muammar Gaddafi ordered the medical school to take 2,000 new students regardless of qualifications, well beyond its 150-student capacity.

was split into two independent universities. All the colleges (faculties) located in Tripoli joined the new University of Tripoli while those located in Benghazi joined the new University of Benghazi (later renamed Garyounis University).
In 1976 the ''University of Tripoli'' was renamed ''Al Fateh University'' after the student unrest in April, 1976, where pro-government students chanted ''Al-Fath, Al Fateh''.
[Not to be confused with the "Great al-Fateh revolution" of 1 September 1969. ]
The university was the site of a student uprising by the Students' Union (SU) during the Battle of Tripoli (2011), Battle of Tripoli, and following the 2011 Libyan Civil War, downfall of the Gaddafi government in 2011, Al Fateh University, was renamed back to the original name of University of Tripoli.
Political importance
After the 1969 coup by Gaddafi, Tripoli and University of Benghazi, Benghazi universities were subjected to a crackdown by the Gaddafi government. From the early 1970s political activity was severely curtailed and by the late 1970s, Gaddafi instructed his followers to arrest any students or staff members who were vocally resistant to his government. Each year until the Gaddafi government downfall in 2011, his close followers used to celebrate the commemoration of these events on the 7th of April.
