Creating an inclusive environment for all is a crucial component of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 4: Quality Education and SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities.

Thammasat University recognises this importance and has continually strengthened its support systems and infrastructure to ensure that students with disabilities can access education and campus life on an equal basis with others.

This effort was featured in the “10 Universities for Students with Disabilities” review project by the online programme “Dek Pikan Rien Nai Dee” (“Where Should Students with Disabilities Study?”). The programme is supported by the Safe and Creative Media Development Fund, organised by the Duang Prateep Foundation for People with Disabilities and Society, in collaboration with Alamax Co., Ltd.

The feature highlighted Thammasat University’s multidimensional approach to supporting students with disabilities, as outlined below.

1. Academic Support

The Disabled Student Services (DSS) serves as the main unit providing assistance throughout the admission process, enabling students with various types of disabilities to enrol in over 20 faculties and programmes (at the Rangsit Campus).
DSS also offers a range of learning support facilities, including:

• A computer room equipped with screen reader software, enabling students to access documents and online information.
• Loan services for educational equipment such as iPads, voice recorders, walking canes, and wheelchairs.
  

2. Accessible Infrastructure and Facilities

The University has continually improved its physical infrastructure to ensure accessibility across residential, learning, and public spaces. Examples include:

• Student dormitories (such as Dormitories C8 and F) featuring dedicated zones for students with disabilities, equipped with ramps, lifts, facial recognition security systems, and in-room amenities such as grab bars and SOS emergency call systems.
• Campus shuttle buses that accommodate wheelchairs, pedestrian paths with Braille blocks, and audible traffic signals at crossings.
• Accessible academic and service buildings, such as SC1 Building, Puey Ungphakorn Library, and the Green Canteen, all of which include ramps and tables designed for wheelchair users.
  

3. Health and Well-being Support

Beyond learning and physical accessibility, the University also prioritises the health and social well-being of students with disabilities.

• Viva City Centre offers mental health services, while the TU Well-being Centre (SC1 Building) provides health consultations and first aid.
• Sports and recreation areas, including fitness centres and Gym 7 (outdoor zone), have been designed for easy access with ramps and open spaces.
• The Friends of Dome Club organises volunteer camps and inclusive activities, encouraging meaningful participation of students with disabilities alongside their peers.
  

Towards an Inclusive Learning Community

Through comprehensive support in academics, infrastructure, and well-being, Thammasat University reaffirms its commitment to fostering an inclusive and equitable learning environment — one where everyone can learn, grow, and live together with dignity and happiness.
