A faculty of CMU plans to corroborate with NUS

Dr. Sinsirichaveng gave interview of the faculty's process. 

Chiang Mai- Faculty of Mass Communication in Chiang Mai University will soon be having twinning programme with National University of Singapore (NUS) – the first among ASEAN countries.

However, faculty’s associate dean, Witoon Sinsirichaveng has concern about the level of the students in this moment since that is not a day project to reach the goal as the university needs more requirements to full fit.In the moment, the faculty is prioritizing the Grade Point Average (GPA) by keeping and specifying international standard.

“I do think exchanging students to study here is such the long term deals since both speaking and writing in the university content are in Thai. The university needs English speaking professors as well as English handouts and documents.” Jaruwan Supolrai, editor of Asean Youth Movement’s magazine said, “Otherwise, not only Singaporeans but also Thai students are not able to catch the studies during twinning programme.”

“Therefore, nowadays we are working on our planning,” added Sinsirichaveng, “We have had 2 Lao’s students studying here before.”Faculty of Mass Communication was established in 1964 but there had no many foreigners to students to study.

 “I guess the 2 Lao’s guys might be able to speak Thai. That is why they could pursue their studies here.” Supolrai ended.

Adding that the university is trying to get other financial supports for his expenses since the government will not provide funds to the university anymore in the next 7 years according to the Chiang Mai University Act (2008).
