At the beginning of its establishment, the Universitas Sumatera Utara was in the form of a Foundation, which was established by the Leadership Council of the North Sumatra Universitet Foundation on June 4, 1952 by:

In early January 1954, the North Sumatra Universitet Foundation established the Faculty of Law and Community Knowledge, by accommodating a number of preparatory exam students at Indonesian Islamic Universities (now North Sumatra Islamic University) who collectively applied to continue their studies under the auspices of the North Sumatra University.
At that time the Leadership Council of the North Sumatra Universitet Foundation made a decision while maintaining good relations with Indonesian Islamic Universities and on the basis of responsibility to the community, a shelter was held at that time for 8 students who had received preparatory exam levels. After careful screening was held, 37 students were accepted again for the first time. The Faculty of Law and Public Knowledge was officially opened on January 12, 1954, marked by the acceptance of 10 new students and in line with that as a holding business, 34 more people were accepted as listeners. After taking the additional exam to comply with the Regulation of the Minister of Education, Teaching and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia, dated 5 September 1954, Number: 12356/BPT, 9 students were accepted out of 21 people who requested additional exams.
