History
In 1939 the Pranete Silpakam School was founded on the grounds of Thapra Palace by Mom Luang Pin Malagula. Four years later, during World War II, it became Thailand's third government university.
In 1968 the Royal Thai Education Ministry granted permission for Silpakorn University to include additional majors, which led to the establishment of the Sanam Chan campus in Nakhon Pathom, west of Bangkok.
