It was upgraded to a university in August 2010 by the Sudanese Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research.

Dr. Abubaker Mustafa Mohammed Khair, the founder and chairman of the Board of Trustees of The Future University, received a B.Sc.

[1] The foundation of the college is a result of a rise in the field of information technology reflected in the administrative and economical structure of Sudan and other countries.

[2] On the morning of the day after the approval, many of the students reported that they were surprised when they came to the college because they saw the new sign at the forefront of the buildings saying “Future University” instead of the old “Computer Man College.” On that day, a camel and a number of sheep were sacrificed (i.e. slaughtered) inside the campus, and the meat was given away as charity (Karāma) to the poor and other people in the shape of a good-deed attempt to thank the grace of God that the college was upgraded.

The chairman of the board stated in an interview that he believes the new buildings would be completely constructed, set up, and ready to use by the end of 2011.
