Thailand is now offering fully funded Thailand TIPP scholarship 2022 to international students.

MAPS is the first graduate program in Thailand that examines the entire Asia-Pacific region in all its complexities.

The Asia-Pacific region is one of the most dynamic and diverse regions in the world. It is the home of more than 4.3 billion people and accounts for more than half of global economic activities.

Trade and development have given rise to international economic cooperation, ranging from small regional forums to large-scale collaborations such as APEC (Asia- Pacific Economic Cooperation) and ASEAN.

MAPS program provides students with the opportunity to deepen their knowledge not only on the said academic disciplines. Students will also study various contemporary issues related to sustainable development in the region.

The program adopts a multidisciplinary approach that allows them to integrate the study of economics, law, international relations, and public policies to give
students an understanding of contemporary regional issues.

The Asia-Pacific region is also the home of 700 million youth whose ambitions and abilities can contribute to the prosperous, peaceful, and sustainable future of the region. Investing in youth is an investment for the future. Our students will be trained and empowered for a sustainable future that requires a better understanding of their needs, interests, challenges, and potential may it be
domestically or internationally.

MAPS is a truly international program with more than 80 percent of international students. Students at the MAPS program come from ASEAN member states and countries in the Asia- Pacific such as Bhutan, Japan, and China. The majority of them work in public and higher education sectors, that is, civil service officers at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and university lecturers. When they graduate, they will go back and become the driving force for sustainable developments in their counties.
