    • Established in 1943 as Thailand’s first agricultural university
    • Expanded to encompass diverse academic disciplines beyond agriculture

    From agricultural roots to comprehensive education

    Kasetsart University (KU), founded on 2 February 1943, holds the distinction of being Thailand’s first institution dedicated to agricultural sciences. Initially established to promote subjects related to agricultural science, KU has since broadened its academic horizons to include life sciences, engineering, social sciences, and humanities. This evolution reflects the university’s commitment to adapting to the changing educational landscape while maintaining its foundational focus on agriculture.

    The main campus, located in Bangkhen, Bangkok, is complemented by several other campuses across Thailand, including Kamphaeng Saen, Sriracha, and Chalermphrakiat Sakon Nakhon Province. Each campus offers unique programs tailored to regional needs, ensuring that KU’s educational reach is both broad and locally relevant.

    KU’s commitment to research is evident through its numerous research centres and institutes, such as the Kasetsart University Research and Development Institute (KURDI) and the Institute of Food Research and Product Development (IFRPD). These institutions underscore the university’s dedication to advancing knowledge and contributing to societal development.

    Global engagement and academic collaborations

    Recognising the importance of globalisation in education, KU actively fosters international collaborations. The university has established partnerships with esteemed institutions worldwide, including Cornell University, Kyoto University, and the University of British Columbia. These collaborations facilitate academic exchanges, joint research projects, and cultural interactions, enriching the educational experience for both students and faculty.

    KU offers a range of international programs, with 24 undergraduate and 18 graduate programs taught in English across various faculties. This initiative caters to the growing demand for international education and positions KU as a competitive institution on the global stage.

    The university’s commitment to sustainability is evident through its green campus initiatives. The Bangkhen campus, spanning over 1,400 rai, provides vibrant green urban tropical and urban farm environments, reflecting KU’s dedication to environmental stewardship.
