Campuses

Srinakharinwirot has two campuses: Prasarnmit, in Bangkok’s Watthana district, and Ongkharak, in Nakhon Nayok province.

Fashion

Fashion at Srinakharinwirot is taught at the College of Creative Industry (FASH SWU CCI), which offers a BA in Fashion, Textiles and Accessories and an MFA in Fashion Design Innovation. The programme says the BA moved there from the Faculty of Fine Arts in 2018, and that it has around 100 fashion students in each year.

The BA is built around the needs of the Thai fashion industry. It aims to train new entrepreneurs who combine design, science, technology and innovation with Thai folk wisdom, so that students can compete in international markets. The programme runs its own website at fashswu.com.
