Professor Dr. Supasawad Chardchawarn, the Rector of Thammasat, along with the Vice Rector for International Affairs, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Supreedee Rittironk, met with Prof. Richard Follett, Exeter University’s Global Deputy Vice-Chancellor, on the possibility of potential collaboration in the areas of exchanges and research between the two universities during a visit to Thammasat-Rangsit on 24 June 2024. Associate Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Global Engagement in the Faculty of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences and the Regional Head for Global Partnerships from the University of Exeter in the UK were also part of the delegation.
During the meeting, Prof. Follet expressed Exeter’s eager interest in establishing new Dual Degree partnerships in a “2 + 2” program or “3 + 1” program with other prospective faculties at Thammasat. The two sides agreed that Thammasat has faculties with great potential for collaboration, namely the Thammasat Business School, the Faculties of Engineering, Law, Liberal Arts, Political Science, Economics, Journalism and Mass Communication, as well as the Sirindhorn International Institute of Technology.
The OIA at Thammasat will survey the interest of faculties to support the expanded linkups between both universities
