Burapha University

Burapha University is a public university in Thailand. It is located in Chonburi Province, near the beach of Bangsaen, in the coastal town of Saen Suk. It arose from Bangsaen Educational College, which was the first regional tertiary educational institute, on July 8, 1955. More than 50 programs of study are available at the institution, including 75 master's programs, three EdD programs, and 22 Ph.D. programs.

Burapha University was founded in 1955 and has three campuses: Burapha University, Chonburi Campus, Mueang District, Chonburi Province. Burapha University, Chanthaburi Campus, was founded in 1996 in Ta-Mai District, Chanthaburi Province. Burapha University was founded in 1997 at the Sakaeo Campus in Wattana Nakorn District, Sa Kaeo Province. Gray and gold are the university colors. Gray symbolizes the advancement of intellectual knowledge. Gold is a symbol of morality. The colors signify the university's dedication to morals and intellectual understanding.

In September 2016, Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha invoked Section 44 of the interim charter, authorizing him to appoint a special panel to oversee the university's administration after it was determined that it was unable to do so on its own.
