Its historical roots reach back to the Universitas Cassoviensis of 1657 and to the Mining Academy at Banská Štiavnica founded in 1762, which made mining and metalworking the core disciplines of East Slovak higher technical education.学校的历史渊源可追溯至 1657 年的科绍什大学，以及 1762 年创办的班斯卡-什佳夫尼察矿业学院，采矿与金属加工由此成为东斯洛伐克高等技术教育的核心学科。

History

• The university was founded in 1952, but its roots reach back to 1657, when the Universitas Cassoviensis was established in Košice, a city known in Hungarian as Kassa.学校创办于 1952 年，但其历史可追溯至 1657 年在科希策建立的科绍什大学，该城匈牙利语名为 Kassa。

• Technical education in the Kingdom of Hungary was raised to higher education level in 1762, when Maria Theresa founded the Mining Academy at Banská Štiavnica, covering the disciplines from ore mining through the production and processing of metals.1762 年，匈牙利王后玛丽亚·特蕾莎在班斯卡-什佳夫尼察创办矿业学院，把从采矿到金属生产与加工的一系列学科提升到高等教育层次。

• The origins of higher technical education in Košice date to 1937, when the M. R. Štefánik State Technical College was founded in the city.科希策高等技术教育的源头可追溯至 1937 年，当时市内创办了马扎尔·什捷凡尼克国立技术学院。

• Teaching there was to start in the academic year 1938/39, but the pre-war events following the Vienna Arbitration forced the college to move first to Prešov, then to Martin and finally to Bratislava, where it formed the basis for the Slovak Technical University.该校原定在 1938 至 1939 学年开课，但维也纳仲裁裁决引发的战前事件迫使学院先后迁往普雷索夫、马丁，最终落脚布拉迪斯拉发，并在当地成为斯洛伐克工业大学的基础。

• The true birth of the Košice technical college came on 8 July 1952, when the Czechoslovak government issued Directive No. 30/1952 setting up three faculties, namely heavy engineering, mining and metallurgy.科希策技术学院真正诞生于 1952 年 7 月 8 日，当时捷克斯洛伐克政府颁布第 30/1952 号指令，设立重工业工程、采矿与冶金三个学院。

• The Faculty of Electrical Engineering joined in 1969 and the Faculty of Civil Engineering in 1978, extending the curriculum well beyond its original heavy industrial core.1969 年增设电机工程学院，1978 年增设土木工程学院，课程体系由此大幅突破原有的重工业核心。

• The college was renamed the Technical University of Košice on 13 February 1991, gaining full university status as the country moved out of the socialist period.1991 年 2 月 13 日，学校更名为科希策科技大学，在国家走出社会主义时期之际取得完全的大学地位。

• In 1992 the Faculty of Professional Studies was set up in Prešov, which was transformed in 1996 into today's Faculty of Manufacturing Technologies, creating the university's second campus.1992 年，学校在普雷索夫设立职业教育学院，1996 年改组为今天的制造技术学院，由此形成学校的第二处校区。

• The same year brought the Faculty of Economics, which meant the institution outgrew its original framework of purely technical disciplines.同样在 1992 年，学校设立经济学院，标志着其突破了纯粹技术学科的原有框架。

• The trend continued in 1998 with the founding of the present-day Faculty of Arts, which added a non-technical dimension to the profile of the institution.这一趋势在 1998 年延续，现今的艺术学院成立，为学校增添了非技术性的学科维度。

• The Faculty of Aeronautics was established on 1 January 2005 as the successor of the Air Force Academy of Milan Rastislav Štefánik in Košice, which had provided university education for pilots and air operating personnel for over 30 years.航空学院于 2005 年 1 月 1 日成立，承接科希策的米兰·拉斯特拉夫·什捷凡尼克空军学院，后者为飞行员与航空运行人员提供高等教育已逾 30 年。

• The university has grown particularly fast in student numbers, enrolling 12,417 students in the academic year 2024/2025, a rise of 8.8 per cent and 1,007 students on the previous year, the largest such increase among Slovak universities.学校在校生规模增长尤为迅猛：2024 至 2025 学年在校生达 12,417 人，比上一学年增加 1,007 人、增幅 8.8%，是斯洛伐克各高校中增速最快的。

• By the 2026/2027 academic year it opened the year with more than 13,800 students from 52 countries, which makes international mobility a structural feature rather than an add-on.到 2026 至 2027 学年，学校开学时在校生超过 13,800 人、来自 52 个国家，国际流动由此成为其结构性特征而非附加项。

• In that same period the supercomputer PERUN was brought into operation at the university, making it the host of the highest-performance computing infrastructure in the country.在同一时期，学校启用了超级计算机 PERUN，使其成为全国高性能计算基础设施的所在地。
