In 1580, the Jesuit College was founded in Polotsk. On January 12, 1812, an ukase issued by Tsar Alexander I of Russia reclassified the college as the Polotsk Jesuit Academy. The academy operated from 1812 to 1820 and was the first higher education institution in Belarus.
On July 14, 1968, the Novopolotsk branch of the Belarusian Polytechnic Institute (BPI) was established. It was renamed the Belarusian Technological Institute on February 10, 1969. Later, on January 1, 1974, it became the Novopolotsk Polytechnic Institute, named after the Leninist Young Communist League of Belarus. On September 14, 1993, the institute was reorganized as Polotsk State University.
Since 2005, the Faculty of History and Philology has been located in the former Jesuit College in Polotsk, followed by the Faculty of Information Technologies in 2008.
As of 2016, the Faculty of Law and the Faculty of Physical Training and Education have been based in Mezhdurechye.
