=== Rangsit === '''Rangsit Centre''' (Thai: ศูนย์รังสิต) is the second and largest Thammasat campus. It is in [[Khlong Luang District]], [[Pathum Thani Province]], 42 km north of Bangkok, connected Tha Phra Chan by shuttle bus. Thammasat University instituted degree programmes in [[engineering]], [[technologies]], [[physical sciences]], and [[medicine]] at its Rangsit Centre in the 1980s and 1990s. Although established only for the science and technology-related [[Faculty (university)|faculties]], all bachelor's degrees have been taught here since 2006. All faculties (except the College of Innovation, the College of Interdisciplinary Studies, and the Pridi Banomyong International College) are at Rangsit. The campus houses the [[Sirindhorn International Institute of Technology]], an international academic institute attached to Thammasat which emphasizes engineering and technological research and education.<ref>{{cite web |script-title=th:ประวัติความเป็นมา มหาวิทยาลัยธรรมศาสตร์และวิทยาเขตต่างๆ |url=http://www.tu.ac.th/intro/about/swf/tu_2551.pdf |date=October 2008 |language=th |website=Thammasat University |access-date=13 July 2009}}</ref> International programmes in engineering, health sciences, and journalism are also taught at Rangsit Centre. The [[Thailand Science Park]] (National Research Centre) and the [[Asian Institute of Technology]] are also located here. The campus divided into three areas: the academic zone, the housing zone, and various sport facilities. The Thammasat University Sport Centre, on the Rangsit campus, was used in the [[1998 Asian Games]], [[1999 FESPIC Games]] and in the [[2007 Summer Universiade]]. In December 2019, the Rangsit campus opened Asia's largest urban rooftop garden. The 7,000 m<sup>2</sup> space, designed by [[Kotchakorn Voraakhom]], is designed to help offset some of the impacts of climate change, such as flooding. "Urban rooftop farms are an easy and effective climate solution, and should be the norm.", she said. The rooftop farm is open to anyone who wishes to grow rice, vegetables, or herbs according to the university.<ref name="BP-20191210">{{cite news |title=Thammasat sprouts Asia's biggest rooftop farm |url=https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/1812764/thammasat-sprouts-asias-biggest-rooftop-farm |access-date=12 December 2019 |work=Bangkok Post |agency=Reuters |date=10 December 2019}}</ref>
