Social Innovation and Sustainability Thammasat University

Overview

Students in the Social Innovation and Sustainability course at Thammasat University explore a broad spectrum of courses that enhance their critical thinking design thinking, systems thinking, communication, and research skills—key competencies for those aiming to create meaningful impact in private and public sectors or as social entrepreneurs. After laying a solid foundation through initial coursework, students can tailor their learning experience towards further research track, which culminates in a major independent study or thesis. From 2021 onwards, the programme also offers a pathway to pursue a PhD in Social Innovation and Sustainability.

Career 

We have created a dynamic programme that emphasises critical and analytical thinking, empathy-building from ethnography and design thinking, evidence-based dialogue, multi-disciplinary collaboration, and active public engagement. Students take a wide array of holistic and multi-disciplinary courses which prepare students for careers in CSR and sustainability management at major corporations, sustainable development at NGOs and international organisations, or social enterprises developing innovations to tackle local, national and global challenges.
