In a groundbreaking agreement between Swansea University and Thailand, students from Finn School in Bangkok will have the opportunity to join the final year of the BSc Global Business Management (Top Up) program at Swansea. This initiative marks the first collaboration of its kind for both institutions.
The inaugural group of students is expected to arrive in Swansea this September, with more cohorts anticipated as the partnership progresses. The Memorandum of Understanding was signed during a visit by representatives from Finn School to Swansea University's Bay Campus. This agreement aims to enhance international connections for Swansea University, particularly in Southeast Asia, while introducing new global talent to its campuses.
Kawin Panprasittiwech, Managing Director and Founder of Finn School of Business and Tourism, emphasized the significance of this partnership: "The partnership between Finn School and Swansea University is more than just a connection between two institutions. It is a significant step toward expanding educational opportunities for Thai students, enabling them to genuinely access world-class education. We strongly believe that quality education is the foundation for nurturing capable and responsible global citizens, who will return with knowledge, skills, and international perspectives to drive sustainable progress in our society."
Professor Judith Lamie, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for International Engagement at Swansea University also commented on the development.
