The establishment of the Faculty of Food Technology is related to the opening of the Technical High School in 1961. It was the only school of its kind in Kosovo, then called the Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metohija. Engineers for mining, metallurgy, and technology were trained in this school. The studies lasted two years. In 1970, within the Technical Faculty of Pristina opened the branches of Technology, Mining, and Metallurgy, initially in Mitrovica, the academic year 1970/71, to continue in Prishtina until the establishment of the Faculty of Mining and Metallurgy in Mitrovica. With the decision of the Assembly of the Autonomous Socialist Province of Kosovo, on 22 July 1974, the Faculty of Mining and Metallurgy in Mitrovica was established. In the Technical High School, existing directions, Mining, Metallurgy and Technology are cleared, but the directions of the Machinery and Electrotechnics are opened. Within the Faculty of Mining and Metallurgy, in 1978, a research institute for technology, mining, and metallurgy was established. Since the academic year, 1980/81 studies are also organized in the Geology branch. From the academic year 2001/2002, the Faculty of Mining and Metallurgy studies are organized according to the plan and programs approved by the Senate of the University of Prishtina supported by the Bologna Declaration, at two levels, Bachelor and Master.
