The School of Economics and Public Policy

Wikigender is specifically partnering with the School of Economics and Public Policy at Srinakharinwirot University to carry the Wikigender University Programme.

The School of Economics and Public Policy is dedicated to develop undergraduate and graduate students’ skills so that they may approach economics both from the theoretical and the practical as well as from the logical prospective. At present the School is offering a Bachelor’s Program and a Doctoral Program in the field. The Bachelor’s Program is designed to give basic knowledge of economics and to provide students with experience in Thailand’s socio-economic issues.

The aim of the Doctoral Program is to prepare students for professional careers in teaching, research, business and governmental work. Overall the School strives to ensure that students develop expertise in theoretical, applied, and research areas of economics and public policy, while responding to the need in preparing competent graduates who have appropriate morals and ethics and are capable of working both in the local and global markets.
