Named after Sir Stamford Raffles (1781- 1826), Stamford International University opened its first
campus in Thailand in 1995, near Palm Hills Golf Resort, Hua Hin. To meet the growing demand
for international education in Thailand and the ASEAN region, Stamford opened its second campus
in Bangkok in 2009, near Rama 9 road. In 2015, Stamford opened its downtown learning center,
the Asoke Campus Learning Center, in the heart of Bangkok’s business district.

Stamford International University, where students of over 100 nationalities learn and develop
together, is distinguished by its commitment to encouraging critical and creative thinking through
its student-centered and interactive learning approach. At Stamford, students are prepared to
overcome challenges in a diverse and changing world.

Stamford has achieved an excellent score in internal quality assessment for six consecutive years
(2009-2014) as confirmed by Office of the Higher Education Commission. This has placed us in the
top tier of Thai international universities.
