In the modern, global age, a university
education needs to be more than just classes
and lectures. Students are now seeking
opportunities to gain experiences, both inside and
outside of the classroom. This means that higher education institutions should
no longer view students as empty vessels waiting to be filled with knowledge instead of focusing
on book learning alone, universities need to develop opportunities for students to gain
experiences that will lead to professional advancement and personal development. Bangkok
University International College (BUIC) has positioned itself to provide such opportunities to
students through its commitment to creativity, entrepreneurial spirit, and internationalization.
Creativityisn’tjustasloganforus.ThesevaluesembeddedinBangkokUniversity’sculture,influence
everything we do. Our faculty and staff, as well as students, commit to this
mindset as an enhancement to their lives at BUIC and beyond.
One way BUIC can provide experiences to our students is by recognizing
that higher education, like so many other things in life, isn’t an individual
activity. It is a socialactivitythat builds off of others’experiences,knowledge,
and skills. Nowadays, students do not isolate themselves in corners of the
library studying lecture notes. Students heddle in groups looking for ways
to connect with others, learn from others, and discover their unique talents.
Our students seek to collaborate in their studies as they work together to
tackle current issues faced by industry through problem-based learning.
Whether it’s working on a real-life project with a company in the state of
the art Media Lab or a simulated environment in the Tourism Tower, BUIC
students can master the approaches of solving industry problems while
going through a process of self-discovery, instead of just being told what to do.
Bangkok University embraces creativity as the means for success in
life. We believe that a creative environment allows for student growth

and development. With the guidance of their professors, students are
encouraged to try out new or innovative ways of solving problems, to
create solutions that go beyond expectations. Along with creativity, we
encourage our students to have an entrepreneurial spirit. To succeed
creatively, students need to take risk and ownership for the success of
theirideasandactivities.Ourcreativeclassroomsprovideasafeenvironment
in which students can be successful in their journey of self-discovery.
Our goal is to enable our students to become responsible visionaries
with agility in thought and action, while developing excellence and trust
in the professional arena – both domestically and internationally.
Bangkok University is well positioned internationally. Our faculty and
students come from over 50 different countries. We believe that diversity is
a catalyst for the creativity of our students. Our students naturally learn
to view the differences between people, countries, and cultures as
opportunities for growth and development, not as obstacles to be
overcome. The diversity that our faculty and students bring allows them
to combine perspectives to create innovative solutions that might not
have been thought of if they had just stayed with others similar to themselves. This isn’t always an
easy process, but for students who stick with it, they will advanced in both their social and personal
abilities as well as create life-long connections with people and experiences from around the world.
In fact, our faculty serves as a role model to our students for international collaborations. Many
student and cultural exchange programs will also provide valuable opportunities to study at leading
partner universities around the world.
The life at Bangkok University International College leads students on a journey of
experiences and students on a journey of experiences and discovery in a creative environment.
By the end of their journey, students will have gained knowledge, developed skills, and applied
them towards reaching their professional ambitions and potential. BUIC’s Graduates are creative
entrepreneurs ready to contribute their development to a global industry.

41. As the world becomes more interconnected, education institutions need to recognize the change
and prepare themselves for the global community. The University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce (UTCC)
is working effectively towards that direction, especially by the management of the UTCC’s International
College (IC). Apart from providing students opportunities to pursue undergraduate and graduate education,
IC thrives to deliver extraordinary experiences to all students. Our priority is to create international
environment where students can cultivate entrepreneurship, leadership, and strategic mindset. We
encourage all the students to initiate business ideas and put them into practices. Our mission is to
produce future business leaders who can make contributions to the society.
To further enhance the global community, IC supports students to go abroad through exchange
programs, young ambassador programs, roadshows, and internships with the Thai Trade Center,
Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, etc. Through alliances with our partners worldwide,
IC welcomes many foreign students from around the world. We believe that diversity is crucial for bridging
gaps of cultural differences and for fostering our young generations to keep peace and harmony with
others.Furthermore,we are working to bond with our neighboring countries. By our strong connection
and collaboration with the Thai Chamber of Commerce, we have established the renowned MBA
program in Myanmar, both in Yangon and Mandalay. With the success of a growing number of
domestic and international students, we will establish more partnerships and expand our campus
to other Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) and ASEAN countries. We foresee our curriculum
restructured in a way that enables students to rotate around any UTCC campus. We hope to make
UTCC become a distinguished institution and a knowledge center in the GMS and ASEAN.

University, where approximately 100 students were eagerly waiting to hear
his perspective on a regional bloc that is due to transform into a formally
established economic community in late 2015. Warmly welcomed with
beaming faces, Mr. Abhisit cheerfully remarked that he was delighted to
return to the Tha Prachan campus once again, as he recalled his earlier
years there as a full-time lecturer.
Mr. Abhisit surveyed the room and proceeded to test us on the year that marked the creation of ASEAN. The
answer, ‘1967’, rang out loud and clear, marking the beginning of an undisputedly awe-inspiring lecture. He briefly provided a
comparative analysis of ASEAN in its prior state, as a bloc formed for security purposes, with ASEAN in its current form,
which has great significance from both economic and geopolitical perspectives. The ability to compete more effectively with
neighboringcountriesand,forthatmatter,thewiderworld,aswellaswieldgreaterbargainingpowerinmanyinternationalforums
are key benefits that Mr. Abhisit highlighted before turning his focus onto the challenges which ASEAN now faces.

step lies in creating a sense of
belonging,forthisisonlywhen,
as Mr. Abhisit stated, closer
integration will come into
existence.
WhenMr.Abhisitopened
the floor for discussion, hands
immediately shot up around
the room to take advantage
of the incredible opportunity to get his insightful
perspective. With questions ranging from the mutual exclusivity of
developmentalpoliciesandcampaignsforintegrationtothedetriment
ofanincreasinglycompetitivemarket,hiseloquentresponsesshowed
the depth of his knowledge and experience. His comprehensive
explanationssparkedfurtherinterestanditwasonlyamatterofseconds
before a lively back-and-forth ensued, with the students keen to give
and challenge opinions and learn from the eminent speaker. As the
session drew to a close, there could be no doubt that the information
and ideas he conveyed were thought-provoking when his expression
of thanks was greeted by a thundering ovation from the students.
InthewordsofMr.Abhisit,theprincipalchallenge
for ASEAN is to be truly integrated. Like all other
countries, Thailand has a responsibility in building
upphysicalconnectivity,whichincludesthehighway
networks,railnetworksandevenenergygridsthat
arealreadyintheworks. However,suchresponsibility
also extends to connectivity between people, as
familiarityandunderstandingofourfellowASEAN
member states and the people who live in them
isneedednowmorethanever.ASEAN,inMr.Abhisit’s
eyes, can only be as strong economically and
politically as it is united; this principle is reflected in
the European Union, which many regard as the
model for ASEAN integration as a whole.
In light of this statement, Mr. Abhisit delved deeper to explore
thechallengesmoreparticulartoThailand
itself.Oneoftheseincludestheshortage
of labor created by an aging society,
which calls for changes in the role of
foreign workers in Thailand’s economy
priortothecommencementoftheAEC.
Another challenge acknowledges the

bytheAECitself,arisingfromthe
currentunavailabilityofsupport

As a research-led institution, Mahidol University is committed to developing innovative
solutions to many of today’s most important social, environmental and public health
challenges. Crucial to this approach is a focus on translational research - a process under
which research findings are taken to the development and pilot scale. The university is
also a supporter of public-private research partnerships.
For over 30 years, Mahidol University researchers have made important
discoveries on the mechanisms and management of global infectious
diseases (including Malaria, HIV, Dengue, Avian influenza, and other
zoonotic diseases). These include innovations in vaccine development and
drug resistance and the introduction of Phase III trials. Researchers also
pioneered the understanding of the molecular mechanisms of alpha and
beta thalassemia.
The university helped to introduce precision medicine, systems biology
protein crystallography and glycobiology in Thailand. In addition, research into
shrimp,starch,soysaucebiotechnology,enzymetechnology,materialscience
andrubbertechnologyhavebenefitedThailand’sagriculture,food-production
and export sectors. Meanwhile, researchers play an important role in the
protection of the environment, in particular ASEAN wetland management
and the conservation of hornbills through the mobilization of local
communities. In the social sciences, university researchers are leaders in the
fieldsofgender,migration,humanrights,demographicsandageingsocieties.
Mahidol University: Excellence in
Research and Innovation

Management of Chemicals
• Center of Excellence in Mathematics
• Center of Excellence in Medical Biotechnology
These draw upon the university’s research strengths and expertise in
order to tackle some of society’s most important issues. The university has
also formed multi-disciplinary research groups or clusters by encouraging
its individual faculties/institutes to work side-by-side on a particular issue.
WHO Collaborating Centers
Mahidol University’s expertise in medical research has been recognized
by the United Nations’ World Health Organization (WHO). As a result, it is
home to seven designated WHO collaborating centers at various university
faculties and institutes. The Faculty of Public Health has been designated
as the Secretariat of the Network for WHO Collaborating Centers and
National Centers of Expertise in Thailand. These centers, not only help to
strengthen Thailand’s national health development, but also form part
of the WHO’s network of regional and international collaboration.

ThaiHigherEducation
Higher education administration
The Office of the Higher Education Commission (OHEC) has the mandate to provide recommendations on policy,
strategies and development planning and devise higher education standards in response to socio-economic development
of the country and serving various needs of learners. OHEC has responsibility to promote and support higher education
development with respect to the degree-granting institutions’ academic freedom and excellence.
OHEC is directed by the Higher Education Commission. According to the Article 16 of the Ministry of Education
Regulatory Act, the Higher Education Commission has the authority to propose higher education policies, development
plans and standards in line with the national economic and social development plan and the national education plan.
In addition, its main responsibilities include supporting allocation of resources and monitoring and evaluation of higher
educationprovision;providingrecommendationsontheissuanceofhighereducationregulations,
criteria and announcements; and providing comments and recommendations to the Minister
of Education or the Council of Ministers.
Currently, OHEC oversees altogether 173 higher education institutions. In relation to
diversity of higher education system in Thailand, there are 80 public universities (65
autonomous universities and 15 universities) and 73 private higher education institutions
(42 universities, 10 institutions and 21 colleges) and 20 community colleges.
Higher education policies
The Second 15-Year Long Range Plan on Higher Education (2008-2022) was formulated
by OHEC with a view to providing recommendations on directions for development of higher education
with diversity and differences that are responsive to the country’s development.
The key theme of the Long Range Plan is an effort to eliminate persistent problems of the Thai
highereducationinordertosettherightdirectionsforhighereducationdevelopment,lessenduplication,
upgrade quality, and enhance efficiency.
To strengthen Thai higher education system, the Long Range Plan has set a major goal to be
achieved by classifying Thai higher Education institutions into 4 categories comprising of (1) research
and graduate universities, (2) specialized and comprehensive universities, (3) 4-year universities and liberal
arts colleges, and (4) community colleges.
T hai Higher Education
47. International Programs in THAILAND & ASEAN Vol.9 [ 47 ]
A movement in higher Education in succession to the Second
15-Year Long Range Plan on Higher Education is the announcement
ofthe 11th
HigherEducation Development Plan (2012-2016)formulated as
a direction to strengthen Thai higher education. The targeted vision of
the plan is that higher education is the source of knowledge and
manpower development for sustainable development of the nation,
creates lifelong learning society in line with the 11th
National
Economic and Social Development Plan (2012 - 2016) on the basis of
the sufficiency economy philosophy, plays a greater role in the ASEAN
Community, and move towards the international standards.
The four strategies employed to drive Thai higher education
towards the targeted vision are as follows:
L=LeaderofChangeManagementforQualityEducation(Change
of organization leading system to drive higher education holistically),
E=Educatorprofessional(Capacitybuildingofteacherstobecome
professionalsandencouragingprofessionalexpertstobecometeachers),
G = Graduates with quality and social responsibility (Elevation of
graduates’ quality), and
S = Satang utilization (Higher education financing reform).
Educational standards and quality
assurance
OHEC has a significant mission to encourage full-fledged quality
assurance systems within all public and private higher education
institutions by providing policy guidelines, supporting for knowledge
sharingactivities,andimplementingrelatedinternationalprojects.The
external quality assurance (EQA) has been conducted by the Office
fortheNationalEducationStandardsandQualityAssessment(ONESQA)
while the internal quality assurance (IQA) has been prepared in the
form of self-study report by higher education institutions. OHEC has
launched the second phase of the quality assurance system in academic
year 2014, encouraging the universities to conduct quality assurance
at the level of program
of study, faculty, and
institution.
OHEC serves as a
link with the ONESQA
to ensure effective
communication flow,
mutual understanding
and further action
for institutions after
external quality
assessments are completed.
In order that Thai degrees are internationally recognized, OHEC
has intensively encouraged Thai higher education institutions to work
in close collaboration with many leading institutions around the globe
to heighten the quality of instructors and programs of study.
Thai qualifications framework
for higher education
The Thai Qualifications Framework for Higher Education was
initiated in 2003 to assist the implementation of education guidelines
set out in the National Education Act of 1999, ensure consistency in
both standards and award titles, and make clear the equivalence of
academic awards with those granted by higher education institutions

establishment, AUN, the network
of leading universities, has been
serving as ASEAN’s implementing
agency in the field of higher
education for the region’s move
towards ASEAN Community.
In terms of organisational structure, the structure can be categorised into 3 levels.
Firstly, AUN Board of Trustees (AUN-BOT) serves as policy-making body comprised of:

• The Executive Director of the AUN Secretariat
At implementing level, AUN Member Universities participate and implement the
programmes and activities under AUN. Currently, AUN membership has extended to 30
Member Universities (see page 143-158).
The AUN Secretariat serves as coordinating and monitoring body. The main functions of
the AUN Secretariat cover planning, organising, coordinating, monitoring and evaluating AUN

Welcome Message
Christian University of Thailand was established in 1983 as “Christian College” of Nursing
under the quality monitoring of Commission on Higher Education, Ministry of Education in Thailand.
Christian College was initially located at Bradley Building in Bangkok Christian Hospital in Bangkok.
In 1996 after we have developed into a full-fledged university, we relocated onto our main campus
in Nakhon Pathom.
Christian university of Thailand offers Nursing Science Programs in all levels of higher education
including Bachelor of Nursing Science Program since 1984 and 3 Master of Nursing Science Programs
since 2001 and Doctoral of Philosophy Program in Nursing Management since 2004.
Presently, we offer various Bachelor’s degree programs in Health Sciences as Physical Therapy,
Biomedical Engineering and Innovation Food Technology and in other fields as Accountancy, Business
Administration, English and Multimedia and Animation. We are the first university in Thailand to
focus on professional practicum and cooperative courses in every degree program and we have
been the first full-fledged Information and Communication Technology (ICT) campus in Thailand
since 1996. We are one of the first to incorporate an English Proficiency requirement as exit
examination for all of our graduates. These initiatives are an integral part of what we prepare to
be a member of ASEAN and world community.
73. International Programs in THAILAND & ASEAN Vol.9 [ 73 ]

Brief Introduction
Chulalongkorn University, the oldest and one of the most prestigious universities in
Thailand, was founded in its present form in 1917 by King Vajiravudh (Rama VI). It was named
after his father, King Chulalongkorn (Rama V), who laid the foundations for modern education
in Thailand. In keeping with the shared vision of both kings, Chulalongkorn University has
maintained its reputation for academic excellence ever since, and has been instrumental in
national development.
Chulalongkorn University, known familiarly as “Chula”, extends over a 456-acre tract
of land. It has grown constantly in the near-century since its founding, and today is a
comprehensive university offering over 500 programs in almost all areas of study, around
80 of them international. Both traditional academic disciplines and interdisciplinary studies
are included. The enrolment is currently approximately 40,000 students.
