Welcome
A Leading Hub in Southeast Asia for International Development Studies
The International Development Studies programme is the first of its
kind at Chulalongkorn University and quite unique in the Greater Mekong
Sub-region. This programme is one of the first in Southeast Asia to
offer multidisciplinary training in international development; integrating
academic, technical, managerial, and professional training, with a particular focus
on policy.
The MAIDS programme, currently offering a one-year Master of Arts degree,
is designed for postgraduate students, NGO workers, international organisation employees, and junior to mid-level government officials with experience
in development work. The programme is taught in English to students
from a range of backgrounds and nationalities.
Students also benefit from an annual series of public lectures, which are organized
through special training sessions and events, such as the Greater Mekong Sub-region
on Human Security - with a special focus on Human Trafficking - sponsored
by the Thai Commission for UNESCO.
The International Development Studies programme at Chulalongkorn University
is new, promising, and seeks to become a central forum for interaction on development
and globalization in Southeast Asia.
