Thammasat University (TU) is the second oldest, leading comprehensive university in Thailand. Inaugurated in 1934 with social science and humanities to serve society’s thirst for modern knowledge. Thammasat, thus, has been known as “the university for the people”.
 
From the mid-1980s, TU has expanded to cover most disciplines, including science, technology, and health, so as to contribute more to society. Apart from teaching, Thammasat is an internationallyrenowned university, which emphasizes research and innovation.

Through our multi-dimensional education, Thammasat has produced graduates with high skills, knowledge and adaptability, making Thammasat the university with highest employability rate and high employers’ satisfaction in Thailand.

A collaboration with SkillLane, Thailand’s chief learning and digital training platform, resulted in a codesigned online master’s degree program.  Knowledge and skills are delivered digitally, no longer restricted to traditional full-time students.
