ASEAN studies in Thailand

The two-year Master’s program in ASEAN Studies is developed in response to the growing global importance of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). As one of the most prominent regional institutions in the world, ASEAN has long been established amid the context of immense complexity and diversity in terms of political, economic, and socio-cultural dimensions among member countries.

In this regard, the program offers students a comprehensive and profound understanding of such diversity in both traditional and contemporary features, along with the essential training in language skills of a chosen nation.

Beyond gaining knowledge about the region through its regional institution, the interdisciplinary focus of the ASEAN Studies particularly aims at equipping necessary skills so as to apply this knowledge in a wide variety of personal experiences and professional contexts. In order to better accommodate full-time working professionals, all courses are conducted on Friday’s evening and weekend. The students will also benefit from courses taught by renowned scholars and personnel in both government and private sectors.

Moreover, the program’s cooperation with partner universities around the world helps enhancing students’ opportunities in working closely with overseas academic advisors, broadening practical experiences through undertaking collaborative research with leading universities, and expanding professional networks through field studies in both ASEAN and non-ASEAN member countries.
