Science CMU : Be FUN to the Frontier.
Faculty of Science, CMU, offers various Thai and international undergraduate and graduate degrees in basic and applied science, spanning in 8 academic departments and 2 strong and 2 newly-established research centers.
The first faculty in science of Chiang Mai University.
The center of science education and research of northern Thailand.
Prominent education and research about Doi Suthep, the revered mountain of Chiang Mai.
Internationally-renowned research featuring Centers of Excellence in various fields housed in modern laboratories.
More than 90% of faculty members hold PhD degrees in various fields of science and technology.
Numerous international and Thai graduate and undergraduate curricula.
The Faculty of Science, as well as Chiang Mai University, was established in 1964 as one of the 3 original faculties.
The Faculty currently consists of 33 separate buildings which occupy a total area of 36 rai. Our mission is to produce high quality graduates in both pure and applied science disciplines that the nation as a whole and the local community need. Although the Faculty continues to grow and develop, we still focus on our 4 main tasks of teaching, conducting research, academic services for the community, and natural resources and environmental conservation. During its first decade, the Faculty of Science offered 5 Bachelor’s degree courses in Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, Biology, and Geological Sciences. In 1974, 8 Master’s Degree Programs were opened in Chemistry, Biology, Geological Sciences, Physics, Teaching Chemistry, Teaching Physics, Teaching Biology and Teaching Mathematics. Then, in 1989, the Faculty of Science was the first faculty in the University to offer Doctoral Degree Programs starting with 3 PhD Programs in Physics, Biology and Geological Sciences.
“Strong basic science, as the foundation for country development. Modern applied science, to increase the country’s competitiveness. Coupling teachings with international frontier research in standard laboratories.”

Leum Pua rice is a native rice, that thewhose quality is really good in terms of the amount of active ingredients. “Thai rice may be developed into a supplementary food known worldwide expected to be beneficial to farmers to increase income.” We already know that the active ingredient in rice not allergic to the herb ever.
What have we prepared are not more exceptional materials than the others, but are alternative ones for consumers to choose from. The research results have turned many sectors to value the industrial wastes.
We do not know whether there will be disasters or natural disasters in the future. Forest areas may be converted to other uses. The seed bank can guarantee that our local tree species will not be extinct.
They are our talented fresh new faces. Their taught courses and research are as excited as they are. Welcome to our new era!
