[edit] History

In 1949, the university had its beginnings when the Higher Teacher Training School at Prasarnmit was founded. 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 a variety of majors. Subsequently, programs at both the Bachelor and Master levels were developed. In 1964, it was decided to establish branch campus for the different regions of the country, and the following were eventually created:

In 1974, the College of Education became a comprehensive university by a Royal Decree of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej, who graciously granted the new university the name of Srinakharinwirot (See-na-ka-reen-wee-rord), which means ‘the glory of the city.’

Over the years, the regional campuses grew in size and eventually all became separate universities. However, they preserve an unofficial tie with Srinakarinwirot University and regard the Bangkok university as their "mother campus".
