In 1957, a number of West Java Muslim leaders along with some scholars who at that time became members of the Constitutional Assembly of Indonesia, initiated the cadre of leaders of the faqih fiddin for the future. On November 15, 1958, the idea was realized through the establishment of the Perguruan Islam Tinggi (PIT), under the Islamic Education Foundation with the Notary Deed of Lie Kwie Nio, number: 42. The founders listed on the Notarial deed are: Prof. Sjafie Soemardja, dr. H. Chasan Boesoiri, Drs. Ahmad Sadali, Oja Somantri, R. Kosasih, R. Sabri Gandanegara, and Dadang Hermawan. The college is intended to meet the needs of the people of West Java, especially for a higher Islamic college in the midst of various college styles at that time. The establishment of this college was fully supported by the people of West Java through members of the West Java Province legislative assembly. Initially, lectures were held at the Muslimin Building, Jalan PalasariNo. 1, Bandung. A year later, in 1960, academic activities were transferred to Jalan Abdul Muis. 73 Bandung. In 1967, Perguruan Islam Tinggi (PIT) changed to Bandung Islamic University (UNISBA) led by prof. T. M. Soelaeman, M.Sc., EE. Since 1972, all university activities have been held at the Blue Campus, at Jalan Tamansari no. 1 Bandung, on a land area of 10,808 m 2, provided by the Municipal Government of Bandung. With assistance from Muslims, semi-permanent buildings were built for lecture halls, offices, libraries, academic facilities, Mosque, and multipurpose hall. Due to the increasing number of students and more academic programs, in 1980, the Campus II was built in Ciburial Dago, approximately 7 km from Tamansari Campus. The Campus II was built using a donation from H. Amir Machmud (Minister of Home Affairs at that time). Since 1987, all academic and student activities have been centered on the Tamansari Campus, while Campus II is used for student boarding activities, scientific meetings, upgrading and training. On 1 September 2025, the campus became part of a student struggle as police stormed the campus grounds against pro-democracy students and protestors during the August 2025 protests.

Admission to UNISBA is conducted through entrance examinations (PMB) and PMDK. Each year UNISBA accepts only about 25% of the 10,000 applicants.

UNISBA obtained accreditation of rank A (Very Good) from the National University Accreditation Board of Higher Education (BAN PT). The accreditation of higher education institutions (AIPT) is obtained in 2017. The accreditation assessment includes 15 indicators covering leadership, student affairs, human resources, curriculum, infrastructure and facilities, funding, governance, management system, learning system, academic atmosphere, quality assurance systems, graduates, research and community service, and study programs.
