In this paper, we establish the universality property for the distribution of the cokernel of a random Hermitian matrix over the ring of integers O of a quadratic extension K of Qp.More precisely, for each positive integer n let Xn be a random n × n Hermitian matrix over O whose upper triangular entries are independent and not too concentrated. We show that the distribution of the cokernel of Xn is asymptotically universal as n → ∞ and provide the formula for the limiting distribution. This is an analogue of the universality of random symmetric matrices over Zp proved by Wood (J. Amer. Math. Soc. 30 (2017), 915-958).
