Naresuan University (NU;Thai:มหาวิทยาลัยนเรศวร,RTGS: Mahawitthayalai Naresuan,pronounced[mā.hǎː.wít.tʰā.jāː.lājnā.rēː.sǔa̯n]) is a public university inPhitsanulok Province,northern Thailand. It was established as a separate university on 29 July 1990, the 400th anniversary of the start of the reign of Phitsanulok-born KingNaresuan the Great. A courtyard with a statue of King Naresuan is on the campus grounds and students regularly pay their respects before it. The university has about 20,000 full-time students.
On 18 January 1964, the Ministry of Education resolved to create branches of the Bangkok's College of Education in each region of the country. On 25 January 1967, the Phitsanulok campus was established as the fourth branch of the College of Education and was meant to serve mainly the northern provinces.
In 1974 the College of Education was upgraded to university status and was namedSrinakharinwirot University. Originally, only the third and fourth years of university study were offered at Phitsanulok, and students were admitted by competitive examination after completing the curriculum at one of the nation's associate degree level teacher training colleges. In 1976, the first and second years were added. Other majors besides education were gradually included, and in 1990 the Phitsanulok campus became independent of Srinakarinwirot University. It was designated "Naresuan University" during the celebrations of the 400th anniversary of King Naresuan the Great's ascension to the throne.
Naresuan University has a second campus inPhayao, which opened in 1999 and was upgraded to university level and named "University of Phayao" in 2010. It also offers extension courses across the country at nine education centers, includingBangkok.
In September 2006, Naresuan University was ranked as "Very Good" in a study conducted on Thai universities by the Commission on Higher Education and 5th in the uniRank 2017 Thai University Ranking.
The university has 16faculties, organized into three clusters:[1]

Initially, Naresuan University established the Academic Resources Center to expand the graduate education network to various provinces, includingChiang Mai,Phrae,Uttaradit,Phetchabun,Phichit,Kamphaeng Phet,Nakhon Sawan,Tak,Sukhothai,Uthai Thani,Suphan Buri, andBangkok. The objectives were to enhance the potential and increase knowledge for those interested in further education who could not come to study directly at the university, and to have the Graduate School supervise and control the educational standards, including the teaching management of all university academic resources. Later, the Continuing Education Center was established to be the agency responsible specifically for the Academic Resources Center.
Later, in the university council meeting on November 13, 2011, it was resolved to close the information service center and close all the teaching programs of the information service center when the current students graduated. And to proceed with only 2 off-site education programs: Master of Pharmacy Program in Community Pharmacy (organized by the Faculty of Pharmacy at the Pharmaceutical Association of Thailand under Royal Patronage) and the Master of Science Program in Finance and Health Insurance Administration (International Program) (organized by the Faculty of Medicine at the National Health Security Office (NHSO)).[26] and in the University Council Committee meeting on November 4, 2012, there was a resolution to close another teaching place at the National Health Security Office, leaving only the Pharmaceutical Association of Thailand. Under the sole royal patronage[27]
Naresuan University divides its educational areas into 2 parts.
Naresuan University's original campus, affectionately known as "MorNor Nai," was a 100-acre parcel situated in the heart of Phitsanulok city at 1 Snam Bin Road, Nai Mueang Subdistrict, Mueang District, Phitsanulok Province. This historic site served as the university's initial hub until 2535 when all faculties and departments relocated to a new campus. Today, the site houses the Community Pharmacy Laboratory "Phaisachyasala" of the Faculty of Pharmacy, the Naresuan University Community Health Center (Airport) of the Faculty of Medicine, and, more recently, has been redeveloped to accommodate Naresuan University Demonstration School and Pibulsongkram Rajabhat University Demonstration School.
Commonly known as "MorNor Nok," Naresuan University's current campus spans approximately 1,300 acres, located about 10 kilometers south of Phitsanulok city at 99 Moo 9, Phitsanulok-Nakhon Sawan Road, Tha Pho Subdistrict, Mueang District, Phitsanulok Province. Originally a vast public land known as "Thung Nong Ao – Pak Klong Chik," this area was once dominated by a large pond and kapok trees. Since 1984, the university has transformed this land, reclaiming the pond and constructing numerous buildings based on a master plan developed by King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang.
The campus is interconnected by major roads such as Naresuan Road and Ekathasrot Road.
