Thammasat University recognizes the roles of student union since 1979.

Thammasat University Student Union (TUSU) is a committee of elected student representatives who governs all student bodies and allocates budgets for clubs and independent groups for organizing extracurricular activities. The Student Union also works with faculty-level student committees to discuss and find solutions to student-related affairs before voicing their conclusion to the university executives. TUSU is also known to be socially and politically engaging and be a leader in mobilizing university students and on some occasions the public in democratic demonstrations.

Thammasat University Student Council (TUSC) was established at the same time as TUSU. TUSC is another elected representative body of the student community, functions as a legislative body. Rules regarding student activities are drafted and approved by the student councils.  They are also student representatives when interacting with university executives.

TUSC’s roles also include the check-and-balance function for the Student Union. The Council has the authority to monitor the union’s decisions, policies, and activities. It also plays a role to approve the budget allocation for student activities.

The regulation regarding student activities, The Student Union, and the Student Council were revised in 2020 to officially recognize the student unions in different campuses of Thammasat University. Now Thammasat University has three main campuses, namely, Thaprachan, Rangsit, and Lampang. Each campus has its own elected student unions and student council, taking care of its campus’s student-related affairs. They also work together on university-level matters. The revised regulation can be found on the university’s website (http://sa.tu.ac.th/oth/TUrules/TUrules63.pdf).
