The Technical University of Košice is a public college covering a wide range of educational needs not just for the East Slovak region but also in many fields; it is the only science, research, and education center in Slovakia but also in the Central European area. The Technical University of Košice was founded in 1952, but its roots must be sought deeper in the past. As early as 1657, the Universitas Cassoviensis was established in Košice. However, technical education in Slovakia was only elevated to a higher - education levels in 1762, when the Austro-Hungarian monarch Maria Theresa established the Mining Academy in Banská Štiavnica. This provided education and promoted research activity in scientific disciplines ranging from ore mining to production and processing of metal materials. The actual birth of the Košice Technical College came on 8th July 1952, when the Czechoslovak Government-issued Directive No.30/1952 Statutes are setting up three faculties, namely the Faculties of Heavy Engineering, Mining and Metallurgy. These were joined in 1969 by the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and in 1978 by the Faculty of Civil Engineering. The critical event of the College's renaming into the Technical University of Košice occurred on 13th February 1991. In 1992 the Faculty of Professional Studies was set up in Prešov, which was transformed in 1996 into today's Faculty of Manufacturing Technologies.

The Technical University of Košice will be:

  • A leading university of technology on a national basis and
  • A respected university of technology on the international scale,
  • Having a substantial degree of autonomy,
