COMU was founded in 1992 based upon the Faculty of Education on the Anafartalar Campus.

Trakya University was established on 20 July 1982. The three foundation faculties were the Edirne Medical Faculty which used to be an affiliation to Istanbul University

With its new status and intake from Turkey's large youth population, the university developed quickly in terms of the number of students, staff and facilities, spurring the opening of new faculties and colleges.
