UPH was founded in 1993.[1]

On September 27, 1994, lecture activities began at the Asia Tower with approximately 250 students in 3 faculties and 8 departments, while construction of the UPH Tower building was underway.

In 1995, all lecture activities were moved to UPH Tower. In the same year, the Pelita Harapan Education Foundation opened the Pelita Harapan Tourism Academy with majors in Hotel Management and Tourism Business Management as well as the Faculty of Communication Sciences. In line with the growth in the number of students and the increase in departments, the construction of campus buildings also increased, starting with Building B (2000, originally a parking building), Building C (2004), Building E (2005), Building D (2006), and Building F or ' 'UPH Business School (2008)

In 2007, UPH opened branches outside Jabodetabek, one of which is in Surabaya, East Java, with its 6 bachelor's degree programs and 2 master's degree programs. As part of the university's attempt to directly implement technology into the teaching and learning system, various high-tech facilities are provided for students, including Smart Cards (UPH Student Cards), among other things.
