This station is the first post-war station on the line, and has the most curved track of any station.

Built and opened in 1955, University station was originally named Ma Liu Shui (馬料水) after the name of the area before the Chinese University of Hong Kong|university was built. However, even at this point the station was serving Chung Chi College (崇基學院), which would become part of the new university in 1963. The station was given its present name in 1966, and in 1983 its tracks were electrified.

Originally the station was the smallest in the system.
