WMSEA Fellowship: M.A. in Southeast Asian Studies

The Southeast Asian Studies Program is multidisciplinary and offers 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 also works on Asia-Europe student exchange with the International Institute of Asian Studies at Leiden University in The Netherlands.
