DOCTORAL STUDIES AT SHINAWATRA UNIVERSITY, THAILAND

Shinawatra University’s scholarship scheme for its renowned doctoral degree programme in Public and Business Administration.

Scholarships cover 100% of tuition fees for up to 2 years of study. Scholarship holders still have to pay various miscellaneous costs, but even some of these may be waived in special circumstances.

Classes for the doctorate are held over weekends at Shinawatra University’s Bangkok centre in order to make it possible for those in full-time work over weekdays to participate.

This programme commenced in August 2015; its next student cohort intake will be in January 2016, and the university is allocating scholarships on the basis of ‘first come; first served’ and its published eligibility criteria.
