History[edit]
The university had its beginnings when the Higher Teacher Training School at Prasarnmit was founded in 1949. Prasarnmit was the first of its kind in the country’s history. In 1953, it became the College of Education, having authority to grant a bachelor's degree in Education in the subject majors taught in Thai primary and secondary schools. Subsequently, programs at both the Bachelor and Master levels were developed. In 1964, branch campuses were established for the regions of the country. The following were eventually created:
Prasarnmitr Building in 1980
Phitsanulok campus, for the north, now Naresuan University
Maha Sarakham campus, for the northeast, now Mahasarakham University
Bangsaen campus, for the southeast, now Burapha University
Songkhla campus, for the south, now Thaksin University
Additional central campuses were also established:
Pathumwan campus, now merged with Prasarnmit campus
Physical Education campus, now merged with Faculty of Physical Education, Ongkharak campus
Bang Khen campus, now merged with Prasarnmit campus
The higher education in Thailand to concentrate solely on teacher training
In 1974, the College of Education became a comprehensive university by a Royal Decree of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej, who granted the university the name of Srinakharinwirot (See-na-ka-reen-wee-rot), which means ‘the glory of the city.’
The university offered undergraduate degrees in education, humanities, social science, science, physical education and graduate degrees in education. In the higher education development plan phase 5th (1982-1986), a Faculty of Medicine was added; in phase 7th (1992-1996), Engineering, Fine Arts, and Dentistry; and in phase 8th (1997-2001), Pharmacy, Health Science, and Nursing. SWU Prasanmit has developed to be a metropolitan, center city university focusing on graduate studies. SWU Ongkaruk has focused on the development of health science, technology, environment and community services.
Over the years, the regional campuses grew in size and became separate universities. However, they preserve an unofficial tie with Srinakarinwirot University and regard the Bangkok university as their "mother campus".
