Founded in 1943 as the University of Medical Sciences, Mahidol University has its origins in the first medical school in Thailand, established at Siriraj Hospital in 1890 by H.M. King Chulalongkorn. In 1969, having gained renown in the fields of medicine, public health and the sciences, the University was renamed with great honor by H.M. King Bhumibol Adulyadej after his own father, H.R.H. Prince Mahidol of Songkla, who is widely acknowledged to be the 'Father of Modern Medicine and Public Health in Thailand'.
Mahidol University has since developed into one of the most prestigious universities in Thailand, internationally known and recognized for the high caliber research and teaching of its faculty, and its outstanding achievements in teaching, research, international academic collaboration and professional services. This diversified institution now offers top quality programs in numerous social and cultural disciplines, including the most doctoral programs of any institution in Thailand, yet has maintained its traditional excellence in the medicine and the sciences.
