About the University |

KMUTT was developed from
Thonburi Technical College (founded on February 4, 1960). The college
became a degree-granting institute by the name of King Mongkut's
Institute of Technology, Thonburi Campus in 1971. The Thonburi Campus
subsequently became King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Thonburi
(KMITT) in 1986.
On March 7, 1998, as announced in the Royal Gazette, KMITT became King
Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT). KMUTT is the first
among public universities in Thailand to receive full autonomy.
The University consists of nine faculties / schools, six research
centers and service institutes. |

In addition, it is the first
Thai university that has an industrial park to facilitate the transfer
of research and innovative work of the university to Thai industries.
The missions of the industrial park are to cultivate technological
entrepreneurs from young graduates of the Thai universities, and to
strengthen the competitiveness of Thai industries. |
