The University of Bolton was first granted university status in 2005. However the institution first started providing educational courses in 1824 as a mechanical college.

In 2012 the University of Bolton opened two new buildings, a purpose built moot law court and, in partnership with Bolton Council and NHS Bolton, Bolton One. Bolton one has an athlete development centre, climbing wall, research facilities in health and well-being and a sports and spinal injury centre. These services are open to the public as well as research staff and students.
