Phranakhon Si Ayutthaya Huntra campuses and Phranakhon Si Ayutthaya Wasukri campuses are situated in Phranakhon Si Ayutthaya province whereas the other two campuses are in Nonthaburi and Suphanburi Provinces.Despite its recent foundation, the university has long been developed and has undergone several organizational changes, for its eminent achievement in professional education for over 30 years. Three of the four campuses were originally the vocational education colleges by the name of Ayutthaya Agricultural College, Ayutthaya Commercial Colleges and Nonthaburi Technical College under the supervision of Department of Vocational Education (DVE). After the promulgation of the first national Education Act in 1999 onwards, all institutes of higher education have been under the supervision of Commission on Higher Education. Therefore, the RIT reformed the RIT Act 1975 by assembling all RIT campuses and restructuring them into 9 groups before proposing the RMUT Act to establish nine universities in which the RUS was launched by reuniting Wasukri, Huntra, Nonthaburi and Suphanburi campuses and housing the office of the President based in the Huntra district.
