Siam University (SU), a leading private comprehensive university, celebrated our 50 years of excellent education services in 2023. We started our journey by setting up the first 3-year Thai private engineering school in 1965 before we were upgraded to “Siam Technical College” with the authorization to grant degrees in 1973 and “Siam Technical University”, a full-fledged higher educational institution on September 5, 1986. Three years later, the name was changed to the present “Siam University” to show its diversity in fields of study.
To celebrate our 50th year, Siam University participated in the “Reinventing University” initiative of the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation (MHESI) and became the only private university approved in Strategic Group 2 “Technology and Innovation.” The group aims to develop new technology and innovation to respond to Thailand’s demands by focusing on inventing start-up groups and working with industry to develop new technology that will lead to the country’s social, economic, and industrial development. Our reinventing plan emphasizes digital transformation, entrepreneurship, and sustainability.
