Overview:
Mahidol University (MU) is the oldest institution of higher learning in Thailand, founded in 1890 by H.M. King Chulalongkorn the Great as a medical school attached to Siriraj Hospital. In 1969, having gained renown in the fields of medicine, public health and the sciences, it was renamed after H.R.H. Prince Mahidol of Songkla, widely considered to be the 'Father of Modern Medicine and Public Health in Thailand'.MU has since developed into one of the most prestigious universities in Thailand, internationally known and recognized for the high caliber research and lecturing talent of its faculty, and its outstanding achievements in teaching, research, international academic collaboration and professional services. This diversified institution now offers top quality programs in numerous social and cultural disciplines, including the most doctoral programs of any institution in Thailand, yet has maintained its traditional excellence in the medicine and the sciences.
Philosophy
The overall philosophy of MU is best captured by the university motto:
"ATTANAM UPPAMAM KARE"
In the Pali language, this translates as the Golden Rule in English: 'Do unto others as you would have others do unto you'. This underlying theme pervades every aspect of MU as it endeavors to imbue graduates with the conviction that, aside from achieving academic excellence, they have a solemn duty to improve the quality of life for all humanity.
