President Dr. Mathana Santiwat on 24 June 2014 signed a memorandum of
understanding (MoU) that allows for the development of joint degree
programs and research activities, as well as the joint appointment of
lecturers between the two universities.
Also included in the MoU is a provision for joint promotional
activities, such as technical meetings, international workshops,
conferences, seminars, symposia and student activities. The two
institutions will work on modalities for the exchange of students,
faculty, research staff, and use of facilities.
At the signing ceremony held at AIT, President Worsak complimented BU
on its modern campus and expressed delight that the new agreement would
complement each institution’s core strengths.
President Mathana said Bangkok University was keen to pursue joint
research projects with AIT, particularly in areas such as electrical
engineering, telecommunications and computer science. Dr. Mathana
recommended that some junior faculty members could elevate their
academic credentials by studying at AIT.
Officials added they were open to tapping the new cooperation to
include areas such as innovation, entrepreneurship, and international
student exchanges.
