History
[edit]Rajamangala University of Technology Srivijaya is a group university located in the south of Thailand. The main campus in Songkhla opened as the Southern Technic College in 1954 with only 3 departments, while the Nakhon Si Thammarat and Trang campuses were originally the Nakhon Si Thammarat School of Agriculture and the 'Trang Department of Fisheries and Science respectively. Following the National Education Act (B.E. 2542 (1999)) which aimed to decentralize management in education institutes, Rajamangala Institute of Technology amended the law before enacting it as the “Rajamangala University of Technology Act,” which HM the King signed on 8 January 2005.
The law came into effect on 19 January 2005, combining all campuses nationwide into nine Rajamangala Universities of Technology:
