Established in 1999, Pathum Thani University (PTU) is one of the most renowned private universities in Thailand proudly acclaimed by the Ministry of Higher Education as a prestigious institution. PTU is committed to academic excellence that can be applied globally to spread wisdom and build strong communities.

Seizing the opportunity to further the development of the nation, PTU was created to increase accessibility to higher education, aiming to create equitable opportunities for the people providing real-life skills in and out of the classroom. Since its inception, PTU has grown to include 14 affiliated institutions all over Thailand. Unified by a mission to equip students with academic excellence, advanced applied professional skills, and virtuous ethics in life, PTU faculty and staff are driven to proudly serve the institute and its students.

PTU is determined to produce graduates that have a pulse on what is trending in society to have an edge and perspective that is innovative and agile. This goes hand in hand with evoking passion into the hearts of the graduates to improve the society around them. PTU looks to the future to remain competitive, while preserving Thai arts and culture to maintain the best parts of what it means to be Thai. PTU integrates arts and culture in to the program because of Thailand’s impressive history. Thailand is the only Southeast Asian nation to retain its independence through the period of Western colonialization. This has led to a cultural authenticity and general openness among Thais to foreign cultures not found throughout the rest of the Southeast Asian region. PTU strives to keep this cultural authenticity and invites students to experience it for themselves. PTU’s curriculum changes the way that graduates think by carefully equipping them academically, professionally, and ethically.
