Dean, Faculty of Political Science
“Politics and Global Studies (PGS) is a forward-looking, multidisciplinary, and multi-sited educational program that aims to prepare the next generation to become global citizens and transformative leaders. Our core values—Understanding, Vision, and Resolve—are reflected in every aspect of our academic and community endeavors.
In a world characterized by complexity and rapid change, a deep and diverse body of knowledge is essential. Through our interdisciplinary curriculum, students engage with multiple ways of thinking, researching, and understanding the intricate dynamics of global politics and social issues. Beyond the acquisition of knowledge and skills, we place a strong emphasis on fostering personal inspiration, intellectual curiosity, and a commitment to advancing the public interest. We believe that learning should be an enriching and meaningful experience—one that nurtures both individual identity and a sense of global responsibility.
PGS is committed to cultivating a community of thoughtful, committed individuals who are ready to shape a more sustainable and equitable future. Our socially engaged modules, experiential learning opportunities, and international collaborations are designed to support and challenge students as they grow into effective agents of change.
At PGS, we strive to create a platform where the world—in all its richness and diversity—not only educates you, but also welcomes you.”

International Dual-Degree Program
The Bachelor of Arts Program in Politics and Global Studies (PGS) is an international dual degree program offered by the Faculty of Political Science at Chulalongkorn University, in partnership with Korea University, the University of Essex (UK), the University of Leeds (UK) and the University of Queensland (Australia).
This innovative program allows students to earn two Bachelor of Arts degrees—one from Chulalongkorn University and one from a partner institution—while experiencing academic life in both domestic and international settings. Through this structure, students are immersed in a dynamic, multicultural learning environment that fosters global perspectives and public-minded leadership. The curriculum spans a wide range of disciplines, including political science, international relations, global sociology, history, philosophy, economics, public management, and research methodologies. Courses are designed to engage with contemporary global and local issues, equipping students with the analytical tools needed to navigate and address today’s complex challenges in public interest. Students benefit from instruction by internationally recognized scholars and practitioners and are encouraged to deepen their intellectual and professional capacities through a combination of foundational and elective modules. The program emphasizes leadership development, cross-cultural competence, and applied knowledge, ensuring that graduates are well-prepared to lead in a rapidly changing world.

Samyan: Our Tripartite Spheres of Learning
Our PGS programme attracts a diverse range of international scholars through international curriculum collaboration. Students will be exposed to both multidisciplinary and specialised knowledge fields. The faculty's cross-disciplinary expertise, practical research, and case studies will undoubtedly enhance students' learning and classroom experiences. Furthermore, we believe that different learning styles necessitate different types of space at the PGS. Our green and cosy library is designed to provide students with a variety of facilities and spaces where they can study alone or participate in collaborative activities that necessitate the exchange of ideas and discussions.
Being exposed to a variety of experiences is a common source of inspiration. The PGS dual-degree programme allows students to gain multicultural experience by learning to share their thoughts and interests with friends from various backgrounds. Our multi-sited programme encourages students to participate in a variety of teaching, learning, and extracurricular activities while meeting new people along the way. We also encourage students to learn about and participate in team-building activities. Students will learn to express their own ideas while also listening to those of others. This approach is taken seriously by our PGS learning modules and activities because it allows students to learn and engage with different ideas, to learn cross-culturally and cross-disciplinaryly, and to build trust and creativity.
Singhdam, as our student cohort is known, represents a group of committed leaders. At the PGS, we aim to develop our young people into committed leaders who are skilled at listening to other people's concerns as well as articulating their own ideas in order to find solutions to any challenges they may face in the future. PGS aspires to develop a young cohort of future leaders who are dedicated to their local and global communities. We encourage our students to learn from and work with people from diverse backgrounds. We will do our best to ensure that students learn to respect diversity and human dignity through our socially engaged modules, hands-on activities, volunteer work, and student research projects.
