UMAP THAILAND SCHOLARSHIP 2009

The Commission on Higher Education (CHE), Thailand, has a policy to promote student mobility in Asia and the Pacific region for better understanding of diverse cultures among the people and to enhance academic linkages between universities in the region.

CHE, as the UMAP member secretariat of Thailand, provides scholarships for eligible students who are enrolled in UMAP member universities to attend a four-week course at selected Thai universities. Students from non-UMAP member universities are also welcome to apply for the program but priorities are given to applicants from UMAP member universities. UMAP member universities are listed in www.umap.org.

The four-week course meets five weekdays a week except national holidays. The course is team-taught by prominent faculties teaching in leading Thai universities in and outside Bangkok. Excursion to historical and cultural sites and localities is included.
