Rajamangala University of Technology Rattanakosin (RMUTR) was established in 2005 as one of nine universities named Rajamangala University of Technology (RMUT). The creation of these universities reflects the intent of the national education act to empower the state’s institutions of higher learning to enjoy more liberty in administering education under the Commission of Higher Education of the Ministry of Education. Thus, these newly created universities are enabled to independently assert excellence in their academic and administrative development. They manage higher vocational education based on science and technology of high standard with the aim of developing the human capacity through academic and technological input with a practical approach. In this fashion, the following nine universities set out in 2005 to achieve these noble goals.
