The origin of the today’s University of Zilina goes back to 1 October
1953 in Prague.
It was established under the name of University of Railway
Engineering in Prague.
In 1959 the institution changed its name to the University of
Transport and moved to Zilina.
As a result of the increasing role of communications, the academic
institutions amended its name to the University of Transport and
Communications.
Since 1989 the University has experienced various organizational,
transformational and structural changes.
