The Faculty of Electrical Engineering was founded in 1953 as one of three faculties of the Railway College in Prague, and was re-established during restructuralization changes in 1992. At present the process of faculty development still continues and some new branches of educational, research and technological development complete the traditional educational orientations, namely: information technologies, power electronic systems and modern methods of electric networks control. The interdisciplinary branches as for example mechatronics, telecommunication management and biomedicine are also in progress.

The history of the Faculty of Science is relatively short - the Faculty was established in August 1998 with an objective to complete the former mostly technically oriented education with courses in humanities. Although the first departments of the newly created Faculty were departments of mathematics, other departments were gradually established and currently there is a wide range of subjects that can be studied in bachelor's or master's programs and one subject also in a postgraduate program.Although there are several universities in Slovakia offering full degree programs in English Language and Literature and/or concentrating on training teachers...

The roots of keeping computers and information technologies at the University of ®ilina go back to 1967, whilst the Computer Centre was established as an independent part of the Department of Mathematics and Descriptive Geometry at the Faculty of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering. In 1982, the Computer Centre was transformed into the Institute of Computer Technology. In that time the institute serviced great mainframes where all computational needs of the university were solved and the first steps toward the university network had been done as well. The institute gradually extended its services as new technologies were emerging. In the year 2003...
