The University

Dhurakij Pundit University (DPU), which in Thai means University of Business Knowledge , is one of the most distinguished, private universities in Thailand , increasingly recognized by the international academic community. It was established in 1968 as a simple business college, with some 40 students, by its two founders, Dr. Sawai Sudhipitak and Mr. Sanan Ketudat.

From a small beginning, Dhurakij Pundit College grew rapidly in student numbers and academic programs. DPU owes its success mainly to the vision and dedication of Dr. Sawai who served as the University's first president until his death in 1994 and Khun Sanan who guided its expansion as Honorary Chairman of the University Council while pursuing a distinguished career in Government followed.

In 1984, the country's Ministry of University Affairs conferred University status on DPU, in recognition of its high academic standards and achievements. Only three other private colleges earned a similar distinction at that time.

In the year of 2005, the university created the new program named Dhurakij Pundit University International College (DPUIC).
