UKA was established in 1917 by students studying at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in an attempt to raise the financial situation within the students' community in Trondheim. By 1917 the festival mainly consisted of a theatre play, which was arranged every other year except the mid-war years. With scarce resources UKA has been in constant developing and is today the largest Norwegian cultural festival with more concerts and entertainment than ever before.
