Chiang Mai University

Chiang Mai University
Our Foundation
Chiang Mai University was founded in January 1964, in a Royal Charter granted by His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej. CMU, or Mor Chor as it is known locally, was the first institute of higher education in the north, and the first provincial university in Thailand.

Our Corporate Mission
To be a premier university seeking excellence in the advancement and dissemination of knowledge to meet the challenges our nation faces in a globalizing world.

Our Objectives
In line with our Corporate Mission, our Objectives are:To provide access to an international standard of multidisciplinary education.To initiate and conduct innovative research and development projects.To conserve and nurture our cultural heritage.To provide service to the community – with special attention to the needs and priorities of the North of Thailand.

Our Development
Since our opening in 1964, with the three founding Faculties of Science, Social Sciences, and Humanities, we have continued to augment our structure and organization in terms of premises, the range of disciplines offered, and student enrollment. Today, CMU has seventeen Faculties with 107 individual departments, and a Graduate School. We currently offer a total of 253 programs: 3 Certificate Programs, 87 undergraduate programs and 163 postgraduate and graduate diploma programs, to more than twenty-five thousand students. In addition, two international Bachelors program and 18 international Masters and Doctoral programs, taught in English language, are presently being offered to international students by Social Sciences, Health Sciences, and Science and Technology faculties.

Our Campuses
We have three campuses, which together cover about 3,490 acres of land. The main University campus, Suan Sak campus, lies about 5 kilometres west of the city center. Set against the backdrop of Doi Suthep mountain, the campus occupies a 725-acre site, bounded on three sides by busy shopping streets and on the fourth by Chiang Mai Zoo. Here you will find the University’s administrative centre, the Science, Engineering, Humanities, and Social Sciences faculties, the Graduate School, all of the Campus Resource Facilities and Services and our major sports facilities. An attractive feature of this campus is the Ang Kaew Reservoir. Constructed to supply water for the University, it also provides an idyllic recreational area for both campus residents and the local community.

In the 1960s, this area was still ancient forest so, with conservation in mind, the University buildings were constructed between the trees, with the result that the campus is now a tranquil, verdant environment, resplendent with mature trees and lush vegetation. There are probably as many trees on the campus as there are students.

Still within the main campus, but a little closer to the city, the Health Sciences complex, the Suan Dok campus, occupies a 110-acre site. Here you will find the Faculties of Medicine, Associated Medical Sciences, Nursing, Dentistry and Pharmacy, and Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital, known locally as Suan Dok, the largest teaching hospital in Northern Thailand.

About 5 km south of the main campus, the 864-acre Mae Hea campus is home to the Faculties of Veterinary Medicine and Agro-Industry.

The University’s latest acquisition is the Lamphun Sri Bua Baan campus. Located about 55 kilometres south of Chiang Mai, on a 1,890-acre site close to the Lamphun industrial centre, the campus is currently under development. When complete, it will provide additional training and research facilities for the Faculties of Nursing, Architecture, Engineering, Humanities, Social Sciences, Agro-Industries, Agriculture, Pharmacy, Veterinary Medicine, Science, and the Graduate School.

The recent beating of a transgender individual in the media highlights the problems facing transgender individuals. The world might be educated by studying how Thailand views and treats transgender individuals. In Thai we call them Katoeys which is translated into Ladyboy in English. I have pioneered the recognition of Ladyboy rights at Uttaradit University in Thailand and look forward to educating people about Thai ladyboys and networking with international ladyboys. As Dean of the Humanities and Social Sciences Faculty at Uttaradit University I am in a unique position to practice what I preach. I have been a leader in recruiting Ladyboys into my faculty where I have learned about their aspirations and their fears. They are very beautiful, just like real women, and Thailand consistently produces the winner of the international Ladyboy competitions throughout the world. I hope this blog helps to dispel some myths about Ladyboys and helps to create an international dialogue. Please see my ladyboy education blog at http://yongyuthintajuck.blogspot.com
