Upon his graduation from the University of Pristina in 1986, he earned a degree in engineering through focus on the topic of "Material balance in the Ferronickel production process".

In 1995 he enrolled in postgraduate studies at FXM. He earned the title Master of Technical Sciences.

After political and professional engagement in the community, he submitted a doctoral thesis in 2008, titled: "Opportunities to bramces exploitation of Ferronickel for producing construction materials", defending it at the Faculty of Geoscience and Technology of University of Pristina and received the academic title of Doctor of Technical Sciences.

Political commitment

Izet Ibrahimi has been a political activist for more than three decades. As a young man, he was engaged in the concept of a liberated and independent country among of the student organisations, which he notably showcased through for the Kosovo Liberation Army. He served to the community as:

- Chairman of the Independent Union of "Ferronikel".

Following the adoption of UNSCR 1244, he co-founded and led the Democratic Party of Kosovo in Glogovac, as a member of the General Board, for three terms.

In the first democratic elections after the Kosovo War, he ran for Mayor of Glogovac, winning a high approval - over 90%. During this personal campaign he made joint efforts to rebuild the city and villages destroyed, partially or wholly, by Serbian paramilitary. Areas of work included: health, education, employment and social temptations for families. Those who "fought for freedom and liberation" were commemorated through monuments, as well as school and roads being appointed their names.

After leaving the PDK, Ibrahimi founded and led the "Citizens Initiative for Glogovac", a political movement that opposed the misrule in Glogovac . Following his retirement from politics, he is now dedicated to professional work as a lecturer at the UM at the Faculty of Geoscience and Metallurgy.
