PRINCE OF SONGKLA UNIVERSITY

Prince of Songkla University is neither a factory nor a trading company. It is a public educational and research institution.

Prince of Songkla University (PSU) is the first university established in Southern Thailand, founded in 1967. It is a leading public university dedicated to providing higher education, conducting innovative research, fostering academic excellence, and contributing to the development of the region and the nation.

Its primary mission encompasses:

Education: Offering a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate programs across various disciplines, including sciences, engineering, medicine, agriculture, humanities, management, and liberal arts.

Research: Engaging in extensive research activities, particularly those relevant to Southern Thailand's economic and social development, such as rubber, palm oil, marine science, and public health.

Community Service: Applying knowledge and expertise to address local and regional challenges and improve the quality of life for its communities.

Cultural Preservation: Promoting and preserving the rich cultural heritage of Southern Thailand.

PSU operates multiple campuses across five provinces in Southern Thailand (Hatyai, Pattani, Phuket, Surat Thani, and Trang), each specializing in different fields of study and research. The university plays a crucial role in human resource development, technological innovation, and sustainable growth within the southern region and beyond, serving as a center of academic excellence and a catalyst for progress.

Prince of Songkla University (PSU) is primarily a public university in Thailand, and its "products" and "sales" are generally in the areas of education, research, and academic services rather than conventional commercial goods.
