Mahidol University—Bangkok, Thailand - Universities and Colleges on Waymarking.com

Mahidol University (MU), is one of Thailand's leading universities. It is located west of Bangkok on the border of a neighbouring province. The university is large, with gardens and a concert hall. There are several other universities and colleges in this region.

MU is an autonomous research institution in Thailand. It began as the University of Medical Science in 1943. It is now recognized as the country's fourth public university. The university was later renamed in 1969 by the King of Thailand Rama 9 in honour of his father, Prince Mahidol of Songkhla, who is widely regarded as the "Father of Modern Medicine and Public Health of Thailand."

The university originally focused on health sciences but then expanded to other fields. It hosted Thailand's first medical school, the Siriraj Medical School. Today, MU offers a range of graduate (mostly international) and undergraduate programs from natural sciences to liberal arts with remote campuses in Kanchanaburi, Nakhon Sawan, and Amnat Charoen provinces. MU receives the highest budget of any public university in Thailand: about $147 million each year, most of which is granted for graduate research programs.
