UMPSA was initially suggested to be a branch campus for Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. The campus were formed in 1999 at Kuantan. It was then established as a public technical university by the Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad's cabinet on 16 February 2002. Incorporated under the Universities and University Colleges Act 1971 by the Royal Decree of His Majesty the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong, University College of Engineering and Technology Malaysia (UTEC) was set up as a technical university, specialising in engineering and technology. The university college operates on a temporary campus in Gambang, Pahang. The temporary campus was formerly an industrial complex owned by Malaysia Electric Corporation (MEC). The university's permanent campus is located in Pekan, which was under construction before the year of 2009.

On 20 September 2006, the Malaysian government agreed to rename University College of Engineering and Technology Malaysia (UTEC) to Universiti Malaysia Pahang (UMP), with the change coming into effect on 1 February 2007.
