Queen Mary University of London and KMUTT Launch Dual Engineering Degrees in Thailand
Queen Mary University of London and King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT) have announced a partnership to offer three international dual-degree engineering programs in Bangkok.
According to Khaosod Online, Queen Mary University of London, a member of the UK's Russell Group, has partnered with King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT) to introduce three international dual-degree Bachelor of Engineering programs. This collaboration aims to combine British academic standards with Thailand's engineering expertise to prepare students for future industrial and technological demands.
As part of this initiative, the institutions will establish an 'International Centre for Future Technologies.' The program will utilize a 'Flying Faculty' model, where professors from the UK will travel to Bangkok to co-teach alongside KMUTT faculty members. This partnership is designed to cultivate a highly skilled workforce capable of navigating rapid technological shifts.
For residents and those interested in the Thai education sector, this development represents a significant expansion of international academic opportunities within the country. The first cohort of students is scheduled to be admitted for the 2027 academic year. While the announcement confirms the partnership and the establishment of the new center, specific details regarding tuition fees, the exact engineering disciplines covered, and the full application process for prospective students remain to be confirmed by the universities as the launch date approaches.
