Technical faculty in Bor was established in the year 1961 as the Mining-metallurgical faculty with two departments – Mining and Metallurgy. The faculty belongs to the University of Belgrade, the oldest, the biggest and the most prestigeous state university in Serbia.

In the autumn 1961 teaching classes started at the faculty at four departments: Mining at the Major for exploiting of mineral layers and the Major for preparation of minerals. At the Department of metallurgy classes were held at the Major for extractive metallurgy and the Major for processing metallurgy. In the year 1971 the faculty opened the Major for mechanical engineering in mining and metallurgy.

By changes of the Faculty statute in 1977, the Major for mechanical engineering in mining and metallurgy was promoted into the Department for mechanical engineering with two majors – Mechanical engineering in mining and Mechanical engineering in metallurgy. In the same year the Faculty got a new permission for openning a new department – the Department for inorganic chemical technology. Such expanded activity of the faculty led to change of its name into Technical faculty in Bor.

In 1985 the Faculty management stopped enrolling students in the Department for mechanical engineering, thus this department was completely stopped in 1992.

In 2002 the Faculty opened several new departments – the Department for industrial management, Department for industrial information science and the Department for electro-mechanical engineering. In the year 2007 the enrolments in the Department for electro-mechanical engineering were completely stopped and in the year 2008 in the Department for industrial information science.

Studies and curriculums

The education process on Technical Faculty in Bor is realised on the following study programs, accredited in 2009 and 2013 (for detailed explanations and curriculums click on the name of the study program):

Mining engineering (1st, 2nd and 3rd level of studies continued from 1961)
Metallurgical engineering (1st, 2nd and 3rd level of studies continued from 1961)
Technological engineering (1st, 2nd and 3rd level of studies continued from 1978)
Engineering management (1st, 2nd and 3rd level of studies continued from 2002)
A part of enrolled students is financed from the budget of the Republic of Serbia while the rest of students pay studies by themself.
