Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University (SSRU) is located at 1 U-Thong Nok Road, Dusit sub-District, Dusit District, Bangkok 10300. King Rama V. graciously named the place, which was once a part of the Dusit Palace, “Suan Sunandha”. Later, the Ministry of Public Instruction (presently the Ministry of Education) received the land for the establishment of Suan Sunandha Vitthayalai School on 17 May 1937. In 1958, the school was upgraded to Suan Sunandha Teachers College.

In 1992, HM King Bhumibol Adulyadej graciously named it “Rajabhat Institute Suan Sunandha”, and on 15 June 2004 “Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University. At present, SSRU offers undergraduate programs, graduate programs, and doctoral degree programs to full and part-time students. We have more than 80 fields of study for our students.

SSRU also has the International College and Management College, which offer various programs. Our students enjoy learning via on-line systems, e-learning, the internet, intranet, and wireless campus services are also provided throughout the university. The 14 database systems, which collect academic documents, are available in English. All processes regarding student admission, registration, delivery of student grades, announcement of study results, and payments are made through the online system.


In the era of globalization and knowledge-based or molecular economies, any action requires alliance and networking with both the public and private sectors domestically and internationally. This is to share resources and to reduce costs and expenses for investment and learning.

Since 2005, SSRU has expanded its academic cooperation with many organizations. SSRU has worked with both government agencies and private business to develop personnel and students, for example: Kantana Group Plc., MK Restaurants, APRIME, Australia Culinary Solution, Thai & International Food Academy, Department of Local Administration Promotion, Provincial Administration Organization of Ranong Province, Royal Thai Army, Department of Skill Development, etc.

SSRU also collaborates academically with many universities in Asia, Europe, America, and Australia. For example, two-degree Programs with Yunnan Normal University have been organized and we cooperate academically with: Tin Jin Normal University (China), Tin Jin Chinese Traditional Medicine University (China), Vietnam Teacher's Training (Vietnam), Cambodia Cultural University (Cambodia), Tokyo Education University (Japan) Wolverhampton University (England) Edith Cowan University (Australia),Deakin University (Australia), Rutgers University (USA), Indiana State University (USA), California State University at Fullerton (USA) and Cesar-Rizt Institute (Switzerland) .
