Where a degree is actually awarded in Chonburi.

What we profile here, and the test each entry had to pass

An entry appears below if it teaches in Chonburi province, awards a qualification in its own right or as a named part of a body that does, and we could read its address, its awarding authority and what it awards off its own pages. That is a stated test, not a claim to have counted every institution in the province — if we have missed one, tell us and we will read it and add it.

Five more, profiled one hub across

Chonburi province contains Pattaya, and BAANLYY splits the province between two hubs for that reason — the industrial corridor here, the Bang Lamung side there. That is a filing decision, not a statement about geography, so here is what sits on the other page rather than a silence you would have to interpret:

• Burapha University — genuinely headquartered in Saen Suk/Bangsaen, Mueang Chonburi, and by a distance the largest university in the province.
• Thammasat University, Pattaya Campus — in Bang Lamung District, Chonburi.
• Dusit Thani College, Pattaya Campus — Na Kluea, Bang Lamung.
• Institute of Vocational Education: Eastern Region — the bachelor's route for a working adult with a higher vocational diploma. Four of its nine member colleges are in Chonburi; its head office is in Rayong.
• MCU's Chonburi unit at Wat Yai Intharam — a Thai-language route to a BA in Mueang Chonburi.

Medicine, English and getting to campus

Yes, there is a medical school, and it was the first in Eastern Thailand. Burapha University's Faculty of Medicine was established on 2 September 2002, its Doctor of Medicine degree was approved on 10 February 2003, and the first cohort of 32 students was admitted for the 2007 academic year. Its teaching hospital, Burapha University Hospital, is on Long-Had Bangsaen Road in Bang Saen — which is one reason Chonburi city trains so much of its own health workforce: a medical faculty, a nursing college and a public-health college, all inside Mueang Chonburi District.

English-medium study is narrow, and it narrowed. Burapha runs an International College teaching in English, and individual international programmes exist elsewhere — but the default language of instruction across every institution on this page is Thai, including both Ministry of Public Health colleges. Asian University in Bang Lamung, which taught in English, closed in August 2017 and has not been replaced. Confirm the language of a specific programme with the institution for the year you intend to enrol; do not assume it from the university's name.

There is no campus rail. No BTS, no MRT, no commuter metro serves any of these campuses. The State Railway's Eastern Line does run the length of the province and stops at Chon Buri, Si Racha Junction and Bang Phra among others, but at roughly one ordinary train each way per day it is intercity transport, not a commute. Our Chonburi transport guide sets out exactly what runs and what does not.
