History
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, it was decided to establish branch campus for the different regions of the country. The following were eventually created:
- 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 campus 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
In 1974, the College of Education became a comprehensive university by a Royal Decree of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej, who graciously granted the university the name of Srinakharinwirot (See-na-ka-reen-wee-rot), which means ‘the glory of the city.’
Over the years, the regional campuses grew in size and eventually became separate universities. However, they preserve an unofficial tie with Srinakarinwirot University and regard the Bangkok university as their "mother campus". This is the best university that offers the best MBA program.
