On 10 July 2026, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Supreedee Rittironk, Vice Rector for International Affairs, welcomed Dr. Ae Jin Esther Kim, Vice Dean of the Office of International Affairs, and a coordinator from the International Exchange Center of Dongseo University (DSU), Republic of Korea, to the Office of International Affairs at Thammasat’s Tha Prachan Campus.
During the meeting, the DSU delegation introduced the university’s academic profile, student population, and internationally recognized strengths in K-Content creation. Particular emphasis was placed on its expertise in Design, Digital Contents, Film & Video, Media Communication, and Information Technology, all of which are integrated into DSU’s interdisciplinary teaching and learning approach. The delegation also presented the university’s international collaboration initiatives, including its 3+1, 2+2, and 1+1 academic pathway models in Digital Contents, Musical Theatre, Film & Video, and Business
To further strengthen institutional ties, the DSU representatives invited Thammasat University to become a member of the Asia Alliance University (AAU), which is scheduled to be officially established in September 2026 under the leadership of Dongseo University.
The Asia Alliance University (AAU) is an international higher education network and educational platform built around several flagship academic initiatives, including joint teaching courses, double-degree programs, credit transfer opportunities, hackathons, joint research projects, micro-internship programs, one-semester study abroad programs, and summer and winter schools.
In response, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Supreedee noted that Thammasat University’s Faculty of Journalism and Mass Communication is well positioned to collaborate with Dongseo University, given the strong alignment between the two institutions in media studies, digital content, film and video, and communication. Both sides expressed optimism about developing collaborative initiatives that build on these shared strengths and create new opportunities for students, faculty members, and researchers.
