Chula scores 91.62 in ITA 2025

Posted on by Chulalongkorn University

Chulalongkorn University was recognized for its performance in the Integrity and Transparency Assessment (ITA) for the 2025 fiscal year at the ITA DAY & ITA AWARDS 2025, organized by the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) under the theme “Active for Change – Transparency, Drive, Transformation.” The event was broadcast nationwide via Facebook and YouTube. 

This year’s results reflect that “transparency is not only a standard but an organizational culture cultivated at Chula.” The university achieved a rating of “Good” with a score of 91.62 points (an increase of +2.63 points). Both the overall ITA score and individual assessment tool scores were above 85, highlighting key strengths. 

Notably, in the OIT (Open Data Integrity and Transparency Assessment), Chulalongkorn maintained a perfect score of 100 in two indicators — Indicator 9: Information Disclosure and Indicator 10: Corruption Prevention — for the sixth consecutive year. This demonstrates strong transparency in public data. In the EIT (External Integrity and Transparency Assessment), the number of respondents tripled, reflecting growing participation and confidence among external stakeholders, including undergraduate and graduate students, as well as online learners via MOOCs. 

Meanwhile, the IIT (Internal Integrity and Transparency Assessment) revealed ongoing challenges in communication and internal motivation. The university has acknowledged these and prepared proactive plans for 2026 to strengthen a culture of participation and shared accountability at all levels. 

Next Steps: Transparency as a Strategic Advantage 

For the fiscal year 2026, Chulalongkorn University will move forward by: 

  • Prioritizing corruption prevention: Taking swift action in cases of staff misconduct, while communicating deterrence and promoting awareness through training programs such as Chula Newcomers, Chula Prospect Development Program, and other continuous workshops. 
  • Integrating ITA with Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) and EdPEx quality assurance at the faculty and departmental levels. 
  • Advancing data-driven decision making to enhance accuracy in management. 
  • Empowering CU-ITA Agents as “Change Agents” to drive cultural transformation, not just as survey respondents. 
  • Strengthening the Whistleblower System with transparent and secure status tracking to build public confidence. 
  • Promoting the AI University initiative by linking AI and Data Science expertise with university governance and stakeholder engagement. 

A University of Trust and Global Responsibility 

For Chulalongkorn University, ITA is not merely an evaluation but an opportunity to elevate its credibility as a model of transparency in Thai society and as a leading international university. Guided by the Chula Togetherness 2024–2028 Strategy, the university remains committed to advancing as a Transparent University — one that is data-driven, leads society toward sustainability, and upholds its role as a “hub of knowledge and trust” on the global stage.

Chula President Chairs TCAS69 Launch

Posted on by Chulalongkorn University

The Council of University Presidents of Thailand (CUPT) held a press conference to launch the “Thai University Central Admission System 2026 (TCAS69): Opportunities for All” on Sunday, August 17, 2025, at Raktanakit Auditorium, 2nd Floor, Suan Dusit University. The event was attended by Ms. Sudawan Wangsupakitkosol, Minister of Higher Education, Science, Research, and Innovation (MHESI); Prof. Dr. Supachai Pathumnakul, Permanent Secretary of MHESI; Prof. Dr. Wilert Puriwat, President of Chulalongkorn University and Chairman of CUPT; Assoc. Prof. Dr. Pomthong Malakul Na Ayudhaya, Secretary-General of CUPT; Assoc. Prof. Dr. Charlie Charoenlappanopparat, TCAS69 System Manager; and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Pariya Na Nakorn, TCAS69 Examination Manager. 

CUPT declared its commitment to “A New Step for TCAS69: Opportunities for All” with TCASfolio—a standardized digital portfolio platform, statistical database, and financial support scheme to promote equal access to education. Continuing from last year, CUPT reaffirmed its mission to build a transparent, fair, and inclusive selection process that reduces inequality and helps students prepare comprehensively. For the 2026 academic year, 82 higher education institutions are participating in the TCAS69 system. 

Ms. Sudawan Wangsupakitkosol, MHESI Minister, stated that CUPT plays a key role in working with the ministry to develop TCAS: Opportunities for All—an initiative to expand equitable educational opportunities for every youth. Recognizing that education should not be limited by financial burdens, the ministry has allocated funding in 2026 to cover student application fees under TCAS. This includes:

  • TGAT exam fees at 100 baht per subject 
  • TPAT exam fees (including TPAT1) at 140 baht per subject 
  • Admission Round (Round 3) fees, which allow students to apply to up to 7 programs 

These measures underscore the government’s commitment to invest in equal access to education while reducing financial barriers. 

Prof. Dr. Wilert Puriwat, Chula President and CUPT Chair, emphasized CUPT’s ongoing commitment to developing TCAS into a transparent, fair, and inclusive admission system. This year, 82 universities are participating. In the Portfolio Round, participating universities agreed to prioritize the quality and accuracy of applicants’ information rather than the “aesthetics” of the portfolio. Clear scoring criteria and evaluation components will be announced on https://www.mytcas.com/ to ensure equal access to information. 

CUPT has also developed TCASfolio, a free tool to create standardized portfolios. Students can input their activities, achievements, and awards, and upload images. The system will automatically generate a PDF file and a shareable link for submission. Trial use of TCASfolio will begin in October 2025, helping reduce workload while ensuring a standardized format across institutions. 

To ensure fairness, TCAS69 has introduced “reserve examination days” in case of unforeseen disruptions. CUPT assured parents and students that every effort will be made to manage exams smoothly and fairly. 

The official TCAS69 calendar has been released, covering all four admission rounds, along with exam schedules for TGAT/TPAT and A-Level exams. Key dates include:

  • Student registration on https://www.mytcas.com/ from October 28, 2025 
  • TGAT/TPAT2–5 exams: December 13–15, 2025 
  • A-Level exams: March 14–16, 2026 
  • Exam registration: October 30 – November 6, 2025 

Exams will be offered in both Thai and English:

  • Thai exams: Paper-Based Tests (PBT) 
  • English exams (pilot): Computer-Based Tests (CBT) for TGAT (General Aptitude) and TPAT3 (Science & Engineering Aptitude). CBT registration will be on a first-come, first-served basis. A-Level exams will remain paper-based, and students may take their question papers home after the test. 

Additionally, past exams and statistical data will be published starting August 18, 2025, on https://www.mytcas.com/. This includes 2025 A-Level exams with answer keys and TCAS68 selection statistics, helping students plan and prepare more effectively. 

Exam fees for 2026 remain unchanged: 

  • TGAT/TPAT: 140 baht per subject 
  • A-Level: 100 baht per subject 
  • These rates have not increased for over 19 years. 

“TCAS69 is not only a central admission system but also a significant step toward raising the standards of Thai education — ensuring fairness, equality, and open opportunities for all youth nationwide,” said Prof. Dr. Wilert.

Chula Grants Full Scholarship

Posted on by Chulalongkorn University

Chulalongkorn University has granted an educational scholarship to Ms. Tawanachai Linla, a professional nurse at Surin Hospital and wife of Sergeant Amarin Phasuk of the 3rd Infantry Battalion, who lost his life in the line of duty defending Thailand’s sovereignty at the Prasat Ta Muen Thom border area with Cambodia. She has been admitted to pursue a Master of Nursing Science in Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing (part-time program) in the first semester of the 2025 academic year, with full financial support covering the entire 2-year program. 

On August 18, 2025, at the Borommarajonnani Sri Satapat 11th-floor conference room, Professor Dr. Wilert Puriwat, President of Chulalongkorn University, presided over the scholarship award ceremony and offered words of encouragement to Ms. Tawanachai, now a graduate student at the Faculty of Nursing under this special support program. 

This scholarship reflects Chulalongkorn University’s policy to support the spouses and children of soldiers who sacrificed their lives in defense of national sovereignty along the Thai–Cambodian border. On August 12, 2025, the President and university executives visited Surin Hospital to express their care and officially announce this policy. 

Prof. Dr. Wilert emphasized that the University recognizes the ultimate sacrifice of the nation’s brave soldiers, under the principle that “all Thais are one family.” Therefore, Chulalongkorn has allocated a comprehensive scholarship for the fallen soldier’s spouse to pursue a master’s degree, covering tuition fees, academic expenses, monthly living allowance, textbooks, and learning materials throughout the 2-year program. 

“This scholarship is not only about free education but also an expression of care, solidarity, and the bond among the Thai people. The families of fallen soldiers are part of our family, and we must take care of one another. This initiative reflects Chulalongkorn’s commitment not only to producing knowledgeable graduates but also to standing by the people in every circumstance—together building a strong and resilient Thai society,” said the President. 

Prof. Dr. Ratsiri Thato, Dean of the Faculty of Nursing, added that the faculty fully supports the University’s policy and has admitted Ms. Tawanachai into the part-time master’s program in Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing for the first semester of academic year 2025. The scholarship covers tuition, monthly allowance, books, educational supplies, and access to academic journals. 

Ms. Tawanachai expressed her gratitude, saying she feels deeply honored to receive this scholarship from Chulalongkorn University. She shared that her inspiration stemmed from conversations with her late husband, who once encouraged her and set a goal that she would study at Chulalongkorn one day—a dream now fulfilled. 

Her decision to specialize in child and adolescent mental health comes from her awareness of the growing severity of mental health problems in society, coupled with the shortage of specialized professionals. She noted that “children are like young seedlings—if we focus only on physical health while neglecting mental well-being, their overall development will be compromised.” 

She views this opportunity to pursue a master’s degree as a critical step in improving the quality of life for children, families, and the wider community. For her, the scholarship is not only a personal honor but also a responsibility to give back to society, becoming a force to help advance the mental health and well-being of Thai children and youth.

Thammasat Ranks Global Top 4 in SDG 16

Posted on by Thammasat University

Inequality and injustice remain deeply rooted problems within Thai society and economy, necessitating the drive for change to rely on knowledge from various disciplines that are profound and interconnected with real life. In this regard, “Thammasat”, as a “university for the people,” has earnestly demonstrated this role as a center of knowledge for social justice, particularly in relation to Sustainable Development Goal 16 (SDG16), which addresses “peace, justice, and strong institutions.”

Today, a key aspect of strategically implementing SDG16 involves the insights of Asst. Prof. Chol Bunnag, who serves as both the Director of the Research and Support Center for Sustainable Development Goals (SDG Move) and the Assistant to the Rector for Quality Development and Sustainability. This discussion reflects Thammasat University’s role as a “common ground” that connects diverse fields of knowledge, driving insights towards policy change and nurturing a new generation of students who are courageous enough to question inequality, while standing firm for a society that leaves no one behind. This commitment has led Thammasat University to achieve the ranking of 1st in Thailand and 4th in the world for SDG16, according to the THE Impact Rankings 2025.

• Behind-the-scenes of the success of SDG 16: 1st in Thailand and 4th in the world

Asst. Prof. Chol highlighted Thammasat University’s role as a “Center of Knowledge for Social Justice,” reflecting its commitment to freedom and democracy while driving SDG16 goals. This led to its 2025 Impact Rankings success, ranking first in Thailand and fourth globally for “Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions” among over 1,214 universities. Thammasat’s strength lies in generating new knowledge on peace and justice, fostering transparent governance, and achieving a perfect score in “Working with Government,” demonstrating its continuous influence on public policy.

From 2023-2024, Thammasat University had over 70 faculty and researchers advising the government, showcasing public trust. The university also builds capacity for community leaders and local government officials, participates in 125 annual policy research projects, and offers a neutral platform for political dialogue, fostering understanding and democratic culture. Additionally, Thammasat’s law and related field graduates, exceeding the average, serve in various sectors like government, policymaking, and social activism.

• Shaping justice across all disciplines, truly embodying “Thammasat”

Asst. Prof. Chol revealed that Thammasat University does not limit its thinking solely within the confines of law or governance but rather opens space for other disciplines to participate in the creation of knowledge and the promotion of policies that comprehensively address issues of justice across various dimensions. Thammasat University’s 2023 Sustainability Report shows that ‘justice’ is a pervasive concept, extending beyond law and political science to nearly all faculties. This includes Nursing (human rights in health), Sociology and Anthropology (analyzing inequality), and Commerce and Accountancy (fair market mechanisms for vulnerable groups).

The Faculty of Law, which possesses expertise in legal matters, has advocated for policy-oriented research aimed at reforming the justice system to ensure equal access for all citizens. Meanwhile, the Faculty of Political Science has taken on the role of critiquing and evaluating state mechanisms, while also proposing ways for public political participation. This aligns with the specific objectives of SDG 16, particularly target 16.3, which seeks to promote the rule of law at the national and international levels, and target 16.7, which emphasizes the creation of guarantees and participatory decision-making that is accountable.

The Faculty of Sociology and Anthropology at Thammasat plays a role in gathering the voices of marginalized groups and conveying them into policy, enhancing the design of institutions that encompass all segments of society. Furthermore, the Faculty of Nursing and the Faculty of Sociology contribute by enriching the perspective on structural equity, reflecting the voices of vulnerable groups, and developing health and wellness care for both body and mind in an equitable manner,” Asst. Prof. Chol elaborated.

Achieving SDG 16 requires diverse academic collaboration, not a single faculty. Disciplines like law, politics, public health, economics, and anthropology collectively build a society founded on rule of law, transparency, participation, and fairness. Thammasat University students, through interdisciplinary learning and participation, are becoming “citizens with a heart for justice,” prepared to drive societal change.

• Research transforming society, reforming policies, and driving global initiatives

Asst. Prof. Chol has highlighted Thammasat’s impactful policy research, which translates into practical societal applications through new knowledge, systematic approaches, or structural reform inspiration. A 2024 Scopus publication, “Pathways, Situations, and Factors Associated with Youth Violence in Educational Settings,” exemplifies this academic-societal integration. This interdisciplinary study on violence in Thai educational institutions is academically recognized and has informed government policy and guidelines, attracting attention from the Ministry of Education and youth organizations.

Thammasat’s research on birth control among minority women in Thailand, “A determination of the influence of birth control among minority women in Thailand: a qualitative study,” highlights the sexual and reproductive health limitations faced by women in marginalized ethnic groups due to structural inequalities and cultural insensitivity in healthcare. This research, presented internationally, supports the university’s 84.8/100 score in Research on Peace and Justice, demonstrating its commitment to a just society.

Thammasat University’s SDG Move Center partners with NSTDA to assess sustainability across Thailand’s six regions, gathering local feedback for the national science, research, and innovation plan (2023-2027). This collaborative effort involves leading universities nationwide and the global SDSN, integrating government agencies and local voices into national policies. This project contributed to Thammasat’s perfect score in “Working with Government,” highlighting its support for Thailand’s SDG advancement.

Thammasat’s top SDG 16 ranking reflects its core values of justice, freedom, and social responsibility, upheld by strong University Governance and academic freedom. The university will host annual events to maintain academic freedom and social justice, reinforcing its mission and promoting societal awareness that true freedom requires responsibility for democratic coexistence. Asst. Prof. Chol Bunnak emphasizes Thammasat’s steadfast commitment to defining freedom responsibly, for the common good, and within reason and societal norms, irrespective of trends.

Thammasat – SCG Internship Program

Posted on by Thammasat University

Thammasat University and SCG partnered to create the “Possibilities Space” internship program, a new model addressing graduate employment. This program offers students experiential learning from real work, integrating academic knowledge with business challenges through inter-faculty teamwork, diverging from traditional internships.

Professor Dr. Supasawad Chardchawarn, the Rector of Thammasat University, stated that educational institutions are currently able to provide knowledge to students. However, what is crucial is the ability and skills of students to graduate and be ready for immediate employment. Thammasat University places great importance on this aspect and is beginning to adapt and develop the teaching and learning processes within the university.

“Internships may not be a new concept, but what sets us apart is the internship that allows students to learn from real challenges specific to the organization. This enables students to think critically and take action to find solutions to problems, providing them with genuine experiential learning. I hope that this will be one of the projects that equips students with skills that will make them job-ready and accepted in the labor market,” said Professor Dr. Supasawad.

SCG CEO, Mr. Thammasak Sethaudom, highlighted the “Possibilities Space” project as a platform for students to gain real-world experience, develop essential skills, and present innovative ideas for societal and environmental progress. He thanked Thammasat University for their collaboration in creating a curriculum that prepares a “Future Workforce.”

“Possibilities Space: Shaping Future Workforce” is a 2024 summer internship where students tackle SCG’s Smart Living and ESG business challenges. Through hands-on learning, they research, develop concepts, design prototypes, and present at a Final Pitching event on July 24, 2025. Outstanding projects may become pilot projects and lead to job offers from SCG.

Nicha Pruksa-aporn, part of the winning Gasshield team (an automatic gas valve closure system), gained practical experience, observing diverse skills within her interdisciplinary group. As a software engineering student, she designed the application, while others handled hardware and marketing. Thanach Mel Phonsukcharoen (SIIT) learned beyond his field, addressing real-world problems and developing critical thinking, aspiring to contribute to societal change.

The Possibilities Space: Shaping Future Workforce project serves as the starting point for creating a model of experiential learning aimed at producing graduates equipped with both knowledge and skills for the workforce. Thammasat University is advancing collaboration with all sectors to drive human development that meets the demands of the labor market, fostering quality individuals who are fully equipped while also considering societal needs.

During the event, Professor Dr. Supasawad signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Global Compact Network Association of Thailand, represented by Mr. Suphachai Chearavanont, Chairman of the Executive Committee of Charoen Pokphand Group Co., Ltd., in his capacity as the President of the Global Compact Network Association of Thailand (GCNT). This partnership will establish a Bachelor of Science in Sustainable Management program next academic year, fostering knowledge exchange and supporting research in sustainable innovations, technologies, products, and services.

This initiative is in partnership with the Global Compact Network Thailand (GCNT) to create a curriculum that integrates knowledge from science, economics, management, and policy to cultivate professionals in the field of sustainability that meets the demands of employers and current employment trends.

The event concluded with a panel discussion introducing the Bachelor of Science program in Sustainable Management, featuring Associate Professor Dr. Dumrong Adunyarittigun, Vice Rector for Academic Affairs, Associate Professor Dr. Saifon Suindaramathi, Dean of the Interdisciplinary College, and Dr. Kuanruthai Siripatthanakosol, Deputy Secretary-General of the Global Compact Network Thailand. They engaged in a dialogue to exchange perspectives on the labor market, the evolving trends in employment within the business sector, and the skills that are in demand in the labor market.
