Thammasat University is exploring ways to integrate micro-credential programs into its academic offerings through collaboration with the Southeast Asian Regional Center for Graduate Study and Research in Agriculture (SEARCA), based in the Philippines.
The Vice Rector for International Affairs, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Supreedee Rittironk, welcomed Ms. Paula Grace M. Muyco, Program Specialist from SEARCA’s Graduate Scholarship and Institutional Development Unit in the Education and Collective Learning Department, during her recent visit to the Office of International Affairs (OIA) on Thammasat’s Tha Prachan campus. The visit was part of SEARCA’s ongoing Scoping Study on Micro-Credentials in Southeast Asia, which aims to gain deeper insights into the landscape of micro-credentials in Thailand. By visiting Thammasat University and other institutions across the country, SEARCA seeks a more comprehensive understanding of Thai universities’ perspectives on the development and implementation of micro-credential programs.
During the meeting, Dr. Supreedee shared his vision for integrating micro-credentials into Thammasat University’s academic ecosystem through international student exchange programs, supported by the OIA. He emphasized that such initiatives could create new academic opportunities for Thammasat students and enhance the university’s global engagement.
He also highlighted the potential of micro-credential programs to be implemented across various faculties and through Thammasat’s Institute for Continuing Education. These efforts, he noted, would support the university’s commitment to lifelong learning by offering flexible, skills-based educational pathways.
