Western University is formerly known as Niwattana University and has been authorized and accredited by the Minister of Education (Minister of University Affairs) to establish a private higher education institution under license no. 2/2540.

On June 18th, 1997, the University was established to commemorate the auspicious occasion decreed by the late Bhumibol Adulyadej to bestow the royal title "Princess of Naradhiwas" to his late sister Galyani Vadhana.

The University aims to sustain the country's growth in the central region and introduce more education opportunities to all regions of Thailand by emphasizing promoting the country's human resources development.

The University's missions are guided by four main tasks: producing quality graduates, promoting research and studies, providing academic services to society, and preserving art and culture. The missions' totality is to promote the development of the country's human resources and ultimately address the country's need to provide higher education that produces human resources that are highly skilled, equipped with academic excellence, highly professional, and righteous.

It strives to be recognized by society on its academic fields in health, medical science, humanities, and sociology by providing academic programs in bachelor, master, and doctorate degrees, and the University prides itself on the continuous commitment to serve society.

In 1997, the country had initiated the 12th National Economic and Social Development Plan (2017-2021), which aims to prioritize creating a roadmap to achieve the change of national economic status from a middle-income country to a high-income country. It also aims to maintain social stability and sustainability in order to achieve harmony and to realize its long term vision "Thailand 4.0 – stable, prosperous and sustainable" by emphasizing the followings:

  • To promote quality education that is equal and accessible to develop human potential in attaining knowledge and capability in line with the market's requirements and to support the ASEAN regional liberalization.
  • To promote the quality of the country's aging society. An aging society requires healthcare services to cope with the deterioration of health. Thus, it establishes the need for healthcare practitioners in various fields to provide better health and sanitation services to enable the elderly to continue working according to their capacity and experiences. This ensures an adequate income for living, health restoration to prevent disability, and chronic diseases that may become a burden to themselves, their families, and the healthcare system.
  • To promote an environmentally friendly economy and society using utilizing available resources sustainably. Furthermore, as a higher education institution, Western University can produce professionals in health medical science that are intellectual leaders, possess the moral and professional ethics to live and work in society to serve the country's aging society. The University aims to enhance human potential by providing an education based on value and quality that cater to the country's needs and society. It supports educational activities that promote students' academic competence and becoming quality and righteous citizens in a borderless society.

The University recognizes the importance of Information technology enhancement as a tool for long-distance education via the network to provide access for everyone who seeks knowledge regardless of gender, location, and age by addressing the needs and continuously maintaining a learning environment conducive to lifelong education and human resources development. Finally, it is to ensure the University's capability to produce quality graduates that match international standards and become intellectuals who possess moral and professional ethics.
