Kasetsart University Undergoes AUN-QA Assessment to Elevate Academic Standards
Kasetsart University recently hosted the 544th AUN-QA assessment to align four of its academic programs with ASEAN standards.
Between October 20 and 22, 2026, Kasetsart University underwent the 544th ASEAN University Network Quality Assurance (AUN-QA) assessment. According to a report by Khaosod Online, the evaluation focused on four specific programs across the Faculty of Agro-Industry, the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, the Faculty of Veterinary Technology, and the Faculty of Social Sciences.
Led by Prof. Ir. Dr. Shahrir Abdullah, the assessment team reviewed the university's educational management and operational processes. Preliminary findings highlighted three core strengths: the effective practical application of the university’s educational philosophy by staff, the high level of academic expertise among faculty members, and a commitment to systematic quality improvement.
For residents and international students, this assessment signifies the university's ongoing efforts to harmonize its curriculum with regional standards, potentially increasing the global competitiveness of its graduates. The university intends to utilize the feedback provided by the external assessors to further refine its academic offerings. While the preliminary assessment identifies current strengths, the final comprehensive report and the specific long-term adjustments to the curricula remain to be fully detailed by the institution. This process reflects a broader trend of Thai higher education institutions seeking international validation to attract regional talent.
