You can reach them on the following numbers:

Reporting Harassment and Inappropriate Conduct

The Faculty is committed to fostering a safe and respectful environment where all students treat one another with dignity. We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards harassment of any kind, including sexual harassment, bullying, and other forms of inappropriate behaviour, whether it occurs in person or online.

Every student has the right to be protected from harassment and unfair treatment.

If you have experienced or witnessed any incident that made you feel unsafe, uncomfortable, or violated, whether perpetrated by a student, lecturer, member of staff, or any other person, you can report it through the channel you feel most comfortable with.

Each contact point is managed by trained staff who will handle your case with the utmost confidentiality, ensuring your safety, well-being, and privacy.

Mental Health and Wellbeing Support

Your mental health is a really important part of university life. It's perfectly normal for students to feel under pressure or stressed from time to time, whether you realise it or not. The Faculty, and the University as a whole, cares about every student and has set up a range of friendly and accessible mental health services. These are run by psychologists and counsellors who are here to listen. They can offer advice and support, or refer you to the most appropriate help. Having a chat is a vital first step towards looking after your wellbeing and living a happy life.

The Faculty provides a free online mental health service with professional psychologists for all our students, whether you're studying for a Bachelor's, Master's, or Doctoral degree, on either a standard or special programme. To use this service, you can book an appointment online using this form.

The Faculty offers a counselling service with our own academic staff for undergraduate students at the Rangsit campus.

Financial Support for Undergraduate Students

The Faculty offers a number of scholarships for undergraduate students who are experiencing financial hardship. These scholarships vary in their eligibility criteria and award amounts, and also include work-study opportunities. Students are encouraged to consider which scholarships they may be eligible for and wish to apply for.

Typically, the Faculty has two application periods for scholarships each year. The first round is from August to September (Term 1), and the second round is from January to February (Term 2). Students can stay updated on scholarship news through the Faculty's Facebook page, Instagram account, and noticeboards.

In addition to faculty-level scholarships, there are also university-wide funding opportunities available.

For further information and advice, students in need of financial assistance can contact the Student Affairs Office at the Faculty of Political Science, Thammasat University, Rangsit Campus, or call 02-696-5317.
