SILPAKORN UNIVERSITY
Silpakorn University is presently under the supervision of the Office of the Higher Education
Commission, the Ministry of Education and was originally established as the School of Fine Arts under
the Fine Arts Department in 1933. Primarily, the school has offered the only studying programs in
Painting and Sculpture by waiving tuition fees for the government officers and the students. Its
inception and development owed much to an almost lifetime devotion of Professor Silpa Bhirasri,
an Italian sculptor ( previously called Professor Corrado Feroci) who was commissioned during the
reign of King Rama VI to work in the Fine Arts Department. He subsequently enlarged the classes to
include greater members of the interested public before taking his initiative in setting up the School
of Fine Arts. The School gradually developed and was officially accorded a new status and named,
Silpakorn University, on 12 October 1943. In the early phase of its development, its inaugural faculty
was the Faculty of Painting and Sculpture (presently is named the Faculty of Painting Sculpture and
Graphic Arts). Since 1955, the Faculty of Thai Architecture was established (later changed the name
into the Faculty of Architecture) and two more faculties were consecutively established to
accommodate the university’ s growing academic interests, namely, the Faculty of Archaeology and
the Faculty of Decorative Arts in the following years.
In 1966, Silpakorn University had an educational policy to diversify the main areas of the four faculties
into sub-specializations to respond to the development of its more academic interests and activities.
However, the university underwent a limited physical expansion in Wang Tha Phra Campus. Hence,
a new campus, Sam Chandra Palace Campus, was later established in Nakorn Pathom Province in
the former residential compound of King Rama VI. The first two faculties founded on this campus
were the Faculty of Arts and the Faculty of Education in 1968 and 1969, respectively. Later, three
more faculties were set up, namely, the Faculty of Science in 1972, and the Faculty of Pharmacy in
1985, and the Faculty of Engineering and Industrial Technology in 1991 ( originally was named the
Faculty of Industrial Technology) . In 1999, the Faculty of Music was established completed and
2
becomes more academic excellence and specialization in artistic fields. Silpakorn University also
extends the educational capacity through establishing a new campus in Phetchaburi Province for
promoting the higher education in the western Provinces of Thailand since 1997 and the new campus
was named “Phetchaburi Information Technology Campus”. In 2001 and 2002, the Faculty of Animal
Sciences and Agricultural Technology and the Faculty of Management Science were established
consecutively in Phetchaburi Campus. In 2003, the Faculty of Information and Communication
Technology ( ICT) was established as well as Silpakorn University International College ( SUIC) was
established at the same period for providing the international curriculum in different academic fields.
In addition, Silpakorn University also maintains a Graduate School established since 1972 to facilitate
and responsible for all offering graduate programs at Silpakorn University.

GRADUATE SCHOOL
The Graduate School was established in 1972 to facilitate the University’s expanding post-graduate studies. It was
meant to serve as a central administrative unit and to coordinate graduate study programs. In carrying out this task,
the Graduate School has also assumed a vital role in formulating policies, controlling academic standards and
quality, promoting graduate research, and providing administrative as well as academic supports for departments
in both developing and launching their graduate study programs. Presently, the Graduate School is offering the
various graduate programs in doctoral degree level and master degree level, both in regular programs and special
programs. In some programs, the courses are offered in weekends apart from the daily working hours for enhancing
more learning opportunities for the groups of working people.
