Rector of Thammasat University, Prof. Dr. Supasawad Chardchawarn, welcomed Ms. Michaela Friberg-Storey, United Nations Resident Coordinator in Thailand, along with a working group from various United Nations agencies, to discuss strategic cooperation in advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) on February 12, 2026, at Thammasat University, Rangsit Campus.

With the participation of Asst. Prof. Chol Bunnag, Assistant to the Rector for Quality Development and Sustainability, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Dumrong Adunyarittigun, Vice Rector for Academic Affairs, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Supranee Lisawadi, Assistant to the Rector for Research and Innovation, and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Kedkun Srakawee, Dean of Puey Ungphakorn School of Development Studies.

Prof. Dr. Supasawad stated that Thammasat was established as a “University for the People” based on the principles of equality, democracy, and the creation of educational opportunities. The university’s identity and mission strongly align with promoting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). He also shared updates on the Bachelor of Science program in Sustainable Management, developed with the Global Compact Network. This program integrates knowledge from five faculties, Engineering, Science and Technology, Interdisciplinary College, Development Administration, and Social Work, to equip graduates for sustainable management roles in business and global organizations.

Ms. Friberg-Storey stated that Thammasat excels in translating knowledge into tangible outcomes for local communities, commending the university as a leading higher education institution that is progressive and forward-leaning, with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at the core of its operations, amidst a global context where the values of sustainability are facing challenges.

Asst. Prof. Chol presented the “ONE TU” vision, which aims to integrate work among faculties and reduce fragmented operations. This vision also reflects progress in advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including the move towards a Carbon Neutral Campus, the promotion of gender equality and diversity, as well as serving as a neutral space for peaceful political expression. This commitment has resulted in Thammasat University being ranked first in Thailand and fourth in the world for SDG 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions) in the THE Impact Rankings 2025.

In the area of research and innovation, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Supranee discussed the support provided to researchers in creating tangible outcomes that address the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in the areas of health (SDG 3), innovation (SDG 9), and sustainable cities (SDG 11).

In the dimension of student development, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Dumrong presented the IMPACT model (Interpersonal, Mindful, Progressive, Agility, Competence, Thriving) to develop graduates into global citizens ready to embrace change, alongside efforts to reduce educational disparities through scholarship systems. Meanwhile, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Kedkunpresented initiatives to elevate “volunteer work” into a discipline through the development of courses and knowledge frameworks to support teaching and learning.

Thammasat University proposed two main collaborations with the UN: a decennial Post-2030 Agenda progress review integrating science, policy, and society (Science-Policy-Society Interface) for scenario planning and defining Thailand’s global strategies; and “Volunteerism for SDG Acceleration,” creating a National Volunteer Learning Platform and integrating volunteer work into ministry policies for structural change. The parties also discussed economic care, women in STEM, student volunteer opportunities, and inviting UN experts. This partnership makes Thammasat a national and regional UN Strategic Partner, boosting Thai higher education’s role in sustainable development and shaping the post-2030 global agenda.

Prof. Dr. Supasawad Chardchawarn, Thammasat University Rector, along with Assoc. Prof. Dr. Supreedee Rittironk, Vice President for International Affairs, and Asst. Prof. Dr. Orapan Yolrabil, from Department of Accounting, Faculty of Commerce and Accountancy, participated in the closing ceremony of WorldNexGen 2026 project on February 5, 2026, at the Convention Hall (SNU Faculty Club) of Seoul National University (SNU), Republic of Korea.

Certificates were awarded to 20 students who completed the WorldNexGen 2026 program by Prof. Dr. Supasawad and Prof. Park San Gook, from Department of Science and Technology Policy at Seoul National University.

Thammasat and KH Academy, a network of educational partners, have developed the WorldNexGen project in collaboration with SNU, the top university in the Republic of Korea. The project facilitates academic exchange in economics, industry, trade, investment, and socio-cultural aspects across the ASEAN region. Students will participate in active learning to develop future international leaders.

Prof. Dr. Supasawad described WorldNexGen not just as an academic exchange, but a “platform for collaborative learning” uniting institutions from Bangkok to Seoul. This initiative aims to cultivate future leaders with intellectual strength, cultural understanding, and a global vision, essential for the region and the world. He also offered three key insights to Thammasat students: 1) Use the knowledge and innovations from Seoul to improve Thai society. 2) Maintain this network, as future challenges like digitalization and sustainable development require collaboration. 3) Be an empathetic leader who listens as much as they lead.

Among many, Mr. Tanee Sangrat, Thai Ambassador to South Korea, H.E. Chung Sye-kyun, former Prime Minister of the Republic of Korea, Prof. Dr. Juhan Kim, Vice President for Research at Seoul National University, Mr. Ahn Duk Geun, former Minister of Trade, Industry, and Energy, Mr. Park Won Joo, former Senior Economic Policy Secretary to the President, Mr. Kim Kang Hak, Chairman of Myungwoon Industry Development, Mr. Peeradech Patthanachanj, Chief Executive Officer of Renewable Energy Development Business at B.Grimm Power Public Company Limited, Mr. Chanchai Sanguanwong, Director of the Business News Newspaper, and Mr. Burapha Sanguanwong, Founder of KH Academy also participated at the ceremony.

Thammasat University’s Faculty of Social Administration, in collaboration with the Foundation of Thai Gerontology Research and Development Institute (TGRI) and five local administrative organizations (LAOs), launched the “New Age Management Executives for the Elderly” program. This initiative, part of the “Developing the Potential of New Age Management Executives for the Elderly through Co-Creation in the Community” project, aims to transform LAOs from “service providers” into “new age management executives” to prepare for a Super Aged Society. The launch event took place on January 28, 2026, at Centara Life Bangkok Hotel, attended by representatives from relevant agencies, LAO executives, and public health volunteers.

LAOs participating in the project include Bueng Yitho Municipality in Pathum Thani Province, Hua Hin Municipality in Prachuap Khiri Khan Province, Tap Ma Subdistrict Municipality in Rayong Province, Na Sarn Municipality in Surat Thani Province, and Thepharak Subdistrict Municipality in Samut Prakan Province.

Asst. Prof. Dr. Natthapachara Sarobol, from Department of Social Policy, Social Development, and Community Development, specializing in Elderly Welfare at the Faculty of Social Work, Thammasat University, and the leader of the curriculum implementation team, has revealed that the situation of the elderly in Thailand is becoming increasingly complex. By the year 2025, Thailand is expected to have approximately 13 million elderly individuals, accounting for 21.6% of the total population, with projections indicating an increase to 31.4% by the year 2042. The country’s care system faces major challenges due to over 340,000 dependent elderly individuals, limited caregivers, and a rise in elders living alone. The crucial solution is developing non-monetary welfare (In-kind Services) as a national priority, such as elderly daycare, quality of life centers, and schools, primarily managed by Local Administrative Organizations (LAOs). However, LAOs are constrained by a lack of specialized personnel, skills for complex problem management, and poor work integration.

Dr. Somsak Chunharas, TGRI Chairman and a research scholarship supporter, stressed that qualitative development in an aging society requires strong local communities. He proposed the government shift from a direct service provider to a service purchaser. Instead of building hospitals, communities should manage resources to procure quality services from networks or the private sector, creating a care “ecosystem.” He argued that cash assistance like pensions is inadequate; investment in public services is necessary to ensure the elderly can live independently and with dignity in their communities.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. M.L. Phinitbhand Paribatra, Vice President for Research and Innovation at Thammasat University, emphasized the university’s focus on developing an elderly care system in Thailand, crucial due to limited national budgets and the rapid transition to an aging society without being a leading industrial nation. Thammasat, in collaboration with faculties like Social Administration and Engineering, promotes and disseminates research, policy, and innovation to local communities and administrative organizations. This collaboration is crucial for creating learning spaces and enhancing the elderly’s quality of life. Since the government cannot efficiently manage all sectors, especially the elderly, networks with local administrative bodies are vital for progress. The challenge requires cooperation across all sectors to develop social and economic systems, making the current training program for local administrative executives a positive step.

Key policy proposals discussed included: shifting elderly healthcare to a co-payment system for sustainability; streamlining regulations and budget processes for faster, locally-responsive disbursement; and restructuring policies to empower local administrative organizations (LAOs) for comprehensive, regionally-adapted elderly care with adequate budget, personnel, and morale support, ensuring a robust local system.

Thammasat University, in collaboration with its Faculty of Public Health, has partnered with the global organization Leave a Nest from Singapore and a network of innovation affiliates to launch the international academic conference, Hyper Interdisciplinary Conference (HIC) Thailand 2026, on January 31, 2026, at Puey Ungphakorn Centenary Learning Park, Thammasat University, Rangsit Center. The conference committed to “Universities Reimagined,” transforming universities into Innovation Catalysts to address the national agenda for a sustainable transition to a Super-Aged Society. This platform unites professors, researchers, students, entrepreneurs, and partners, both domestic and international, to exchange knowledge, build networks, and promote applicable research and innovation through lectures, discussions, and exhibitions.

The HIC Thailand 2026 event this year is held under the theme “Re-imagining Connections: From Education to Ecosystem,” which represents a significant reform in the structure of collaboration. It is not limited to academic exchanges but aims to connect “social structures, communities, the environment, and the industrial sector” together. Crucially, it seeks to transform visionary ideas into tangible innovations to enhance competitiveness on a global scale and to keep pace with the challenges of the digital age.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. M.L. Phinitbhand Paribatra, Vice President for Research and Innovation revealed that in 2025, Thammasat University, through the Faculty of Public Health, received support under the Reinventing University project on the topic of Creating Supportive Environments and Strengthening Health Behaviors for Quality Aging. This initiative aims to leverage science and innovation to address the national agenda concerning an aging society. The collaboration with Leave a Nest thus serves as a crucial mechanism in transforming the university into a future-oriented institution that focuses on providing solutions for society and developing the potential for elderly health on an international level.

Prof. Dr. Takeo Ogawa discussed “Innovation in Aging Society,” emphasizing that innovation includes social restructuring and leveraging age diversity, not just technology, to turn “burden” into “strength.” The platform allows researchers, startups, and experts to pitch ideas to judges and partners, receive feedback, compete for prizes, and gain commercial development opportunities. This fosters academia-business collaboration for comprehensive elderly care innovations, showcases Thai research and personnel readiness, and includes discussions to inform public policy. An exhibition will feature diverse health innovations (Health Tech) for the aging society, reflecting the innovation ecosystem promoted by Thammasat University.

Asst. Prof. Dr. Soisuda Kesornthong, Dean of Faculty of Public Health, added towards the end of the exchange that today’s interdisciplinary collaboration underscores that innovation and cross-border cooperation are essential in addressing the challenges of an aging society. The knowledge gained will be leveraged to create an environment and health behaviors conducive to sustainable quality of life, marking a significant step in Thailand’s innovation ecosystem. This is a crucial step that reaffirms that “Thammasat University and the Faculty of Public Health” are not merely providers of knowledge but are Future Shapers ready to drive Thailand towards becoming a regional hub for health innovation.

Thammasat University has
revealed the results of a survey on the employment status of its bachelor’s degree graduates, indicating an employment rate of
92.62%, which shows a continuous increase from previous cohorts. This reflects
the strength of the curriculum and the readiness of graduates to enter the
labor market. The majority of graduates, accounting for 64.77%, are employed in
the private sector, followed by 15.83% in government positions and 12.45% in
independent businesses. This success is attributed to the essential special
skills that the university consistently provides to students throughout the
program, such as the integration of practical professional skills, internships
with leading organizations both domestically and internationally, and a
cooperative education and career development center that effectively assists in
career path planning.

Professor Dr. Supasawad Chardchawarn, Rector of Thammasat
University,
commented on a survey of 6,366 graduates, revealing that those in the health
sciences group had the highest employment rate at 95.67%, followed by social
sciences and humanities at 92.46%, and science and technology at 91.32%. This
reflects the continued high demand for labor in the health sector in the
post-COVID-19 era, as well as the potential for curriculum development and
effective support from the university. Additionally, the average monthly income
of graduates has increased by approximately 2.78% compared to the previous
graduating class.

Mook – Arthitayaphorn Palasoon, a graduate of
the Faculty of Nursing at Thammasat University, stated
that the curriculum at Thammasat University is robust and fully aligned with
the higher education qualification standards. It effectively integrates real
professional skills, allowing students to gain work experience and build
confidence as they prepare to enter the job market. These elements are crucial
in making Thammasat graduates highly sought after in the labor market, as they
are well-equipped with both professional skills and the ability to adapt to a
rapidly changing work environment. Furthermore, Thammasat graduates possess
outstanding soft skills, enabling them to collaborate effectively with others,
adapt well, think critically, speak boldly, take action, and exhibit
creativity.

Additionally, graduates
from faculties, colleges, and institutions in the social sciences and
humanities fields have been found to have equally high employment rates,
exceeding 90%. For instance, the Faculty of Learning Sciences and Education has
an employment rate of 98.33%, the Faculty of Commerce and Accountancy 96.56%,
the Faculty of Sociology and Anthropology 94.64%, the Faculty of Journalism and
Mass Communication 93.36%, the Faculty of Law 92.04%, the Faculty of Liberal
Arts 91.39%, and the Faculty of Fine Arts 91.18%, among others.

The aforementioned
statistics result from the systematic implementation of curriculum development
that aligns with the demands of the labor market at Thammasat University. In
terms of knowledge and essential skills that influence employability, critical
thinking, proficiency in foreign languages, and communication are significant
factors that enhance job-seeking opportunities. Therefore, in addition to
academic knowledge, soft skills are equally important in creating
differentiation in the labor market.

Thammasat University
continues to uphold its position as a “Leading
Comprehensive University for Future Societies” by focusing on producing
graduates with the knowledge and adaptability needed for a rapidly changing
work environment. The university is committed to developing curricula that
align with labor market demands, fostering a learning-friendly environment, and
supporting employment opportunities through internship programs, career
guidance, and essential skill development, enabling graduates to adapt and
compete confidently in the job market.

 

On April 3, 2025, at True Tower Ratchada, Thammasat University, Rangsit campus, a collaboration discussion with Charoen Pokphand Group (CP) was held through the exchange of visions to prepare for the transition into the 5.0 era. The common goal is “to develop curricula and learning models that meet the demands of the new world,” aiming to produce graduates with comprehensive skills in AI technology, creativity, and practical business understanding. The meeting was led by Professor Dr. Supasawad Chardchawarn, the Rector of Thammasat University, along with the executive teams of Thammasat and Charoen Pokphand Group (CP). Thammasat University and Charoen Pokphand Group have collaborated for over 20 years. The partnership began with student exchange programs with Shanghai International Studies University (SISU), and has expanded to internships for Thammasat students with CP Group.

Professor Dr. Supasawad Chardchawarn affirmed the strong partnership between CP and Thammasat University. CP’s 104 years of growth and adaptability, along with its focus on essential consumer goods, position it for continued success. The collaboration aims to develop a workforce that meets business needs and contributes to sustainable national development. One of the key projects that has been further discussed is the “Entrepreneur Project,” providing opportunities for students to learn the process of becoming an entrepreneur, from the initial concept to practical implementation. This initiative aims to prepare them for the new business world and to inspire young entrepreneurs.

Mr. Soopakij Chearavanont, Chairman of the CP Group, stated that they are in a significant transitional era. CP must adapt swiftly, not merely to keep pace with the world but to lead by cultivating talented individuals who are proficient in utilizing technology.

The partnership with SISU University, which started from a small group, has now expanded to several faculties and is evolving into new projects, such as the “Tao Kae” or the Entrepreneurs project, reflecting that human development is the most powerful long-term investment.

Dr. Teerapol Tanomsakyut, Chief of Data Strategy and Organizational Communication and Chief of Sustainability and Strategic Development, further stated that today, human development needs to go beyond traditional learning to create real-world experiences. The “Tao Kae” project with Thammasat University will provide a space for students to become entrepreneurs, learning from idea to business operation. This model combines creativity, technology, and entrepreneurship.

In addition to project-based collaboration, CP also has executives who play a continuous role in providing academic support, such as Mr. Prasertsak Ongwattanakul, Senior Consultant of the Automotive and Industrial Business Group in China. He continues to serve as a guest lecturer in various faculties at Thammasat University, sharing real-world business experiences in the classroom to prepare students to face challenges in the actual working world.

CP and Thammasat University firmly believe that the deep integration of the power of educational institutions and the private sector is the key to building a strong human capital to propel Thailand forward in a rapidly changing world.
