The office was established as the Ministry of State University Affairs in 1972, operating as a sub-ministry under the Office of the Prime Minister. It was elevated to ministry level in 1977, and became known as the Ministry of University Affairs (ทบวงมหาวิทยาลัย, RTGS: Thabuang Mahawitthayalai) until 2003, when it was restructured and absorbed into the Ministry of Education as the Office of the Higher Education Commission.[1]
In 2019, the Office was transferred to the new Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation.[2]
