Under the leadership of Professor Dr. Supasawad Chardchawarn, Rector of Thammasat University, the institution is passionately committed to becoming a leading, sustainable educational body that dynamically responds to the evolving needs of the future society. The university’s operations are driven by three carefully designed core strategic development policies: becoming a Comprehensive University, acting as a University for Society, and fostering Happiness and Sustainability for the Thammasat Community. These strategies are entirely consistent with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), encompassing crucial global issues such as quality education, good health, reduced inequalities, and sustainable societal development in all dimensions.

1. A Leading Comprehensive University for the Future

Thammasat places paramount importance on the continuous enhancement of educational quality and research, aiming to evolve into a leading comprehensive university capable of addressing future challenges. We are dedicated to consistently modernising our curricula and research, emphasising interdisciplinary knowledge integration and nurturing students’ in-depth analytical skills. This prepares them to confidently navigate a dynamic and rapidly changing job market. A key university goal is to achieve a 100% employment rate for Thammasat graduates, alongside maintaining a high employer satisfaction rate of 95% or above. These indicators directly align with SDG 4 (Quality Education), which promotes equitable and inclusive quality education, and SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), aiming to enhance employability and improve the quality of life for all graduates.

2. A University for Society

As a hub for graduates with a strong public conscience and a deep sense of social responsibility, Thammasat is profoundly committed to meeting societal needs by creating research, innovations, and academic works focused on tangible problem-solving and community development. The university has set proactive targets to publish at least 750 high-quality research papers, thereby generating new knowledge that can be practically applied for public benefit. Furthermore, it aims to implement as many as 33 projects with positive impacts on community development, which will significantly improve the quality of life for people at both local and national levels. These efforts align seamlessly with SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being), in developing universally accessible health services; SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities), by expanding access to education and various basic services; and SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), through promoting urban and community sustainability in all aspects.

3. Fostering Happiness and Sustainability for the Thammasat Community

Thammasat places the utmost importance on the happiness and sustainability of every member of its community, including faculty, staff, students, and alumni. We recognise that creating a positive environment, both physically and mentally, is central to fostering innovation and learning. Thus, the university is committed to managing its resources efficiently and sustainably, alongside implementing diverse initiatives to enhance everyone’s quality of life and security. Examples include developing modern digital technology (IT) to support teaching, learning, and administration; strengthening the financial stability of the organisation and its personnel; and elevating governance standards to meet international benchmarks. These actions aim to systematically advance the SDGs and achieve long-term sustainability in all dimensions. This aligns with SDG 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions), by promoting transparency and good governance in administration, and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals), by fostering strong collaborations among various sectors to collectively achieve sustainable development goals.

The policies under the leadership of Professor Dr. Supasawad Chardchawarn reflect Thammasat University’s unwavering commitment to becoming a leading comprehensive university for society. It plays a significant role in driving education, research, and sustainable social impact, consistent with the SDGs in every dimension. This clear strategic direction not only supports Thammasat’s role as an educational leader but also reinforces its mission to drive sustainable development for future generations, creating a better future for both Thai and global society.
