courses in history, arts, culture, economics and political science.
Contemporary issues that cut across disciplines are thus easy to
address and receive particular attention as part of the studies under
the Program. The Program has as an integral part a "Traveling
Classroom" involving a trip to another Southeast Asian country, in
addition to short field trips within Thailand.
Students in the Program come from all over the world, bringing classes
of international environment. Beside Southeast Asians including
Thais, foreign students are Americans, Canadians, Norwegians, Swedes,
Japanese, Irish, Belgians, as well as Indians, Bangladeshis and Sri
Lankans.
The program is a cooperation of the Graduate School and Institute of
Asian Studies of Chulalongkorn University. Faculty members and
researchers of both institutions with reputation of regional and
international stature contribute to the teaching courses offered. In
this sense, Southeast Asian Studies by Southeast Asian point of view
will be expounded. Scholars are also invited to give lectures. Special
talks by world-renowned authority on appropriate topics are frequently
organized. The program is very well backed up by library facilitates
of the university. Students are further facilitated by the Thai
Studies Program at the Faculty of Arts which has long been in
operation. Students in the Program are given the option to choose some
courses from a range of courses in Thai Studies Program. The Program
