    ทำไมต้อง "สิงห์แดง"

    Why "Singha Dang"

               Since its establishment in 1949, the Faculty of Political Science, Thammasat University, commonly known as "Singha Dang,” has become a leading educational institution in Thailand producing countless well-versed graduates and academics.

              The Faculty’s curriculum is based on the student-centred approach with emphasis on enabling students to become "competent thinkers, globally aware and practical.” These skills attest to the quality of our graduates and prove to be the desirable traits by the labour market. By allowing students the freedom to express opinions, they are open-minded and attentive to different views. This is due to the four-year experience at Thammasat through which students will become good listeners, well-informed speakers, and able to thrive in an increasingly diverse society.

              Three majors are available for the bachelor's degree offered in Thai: Government and Politics, International Relations, and Public Administration. Prospective students will choose their majors at the beginning of the application process. Nevertheless, the teaching at the Faculty incorporates other disciplines that are not part of their chosen majors through the elective options. Students can freely select those electives in order to equip themselves with a broader perspective beyond their individual majors.
