WHY THIS PROGRAM AT CHULA

1 Dedicated and talented faculty at the frontier of research

Our faculties actively conduct frontier research and innovations as evidenced by the number of publications, journal quality of published papers, high h-index and awards. They are also members of various prestigious organizations.

2 Wide range of research fields

As a multidisciplinary and interdepartmental program, students are able to work on research areas that meet their interest, for example, machine learning, graph and network analysis, computational simulations, genomics and systems biology linked to various aspects of life sciences, from medicine and pharmaceutical sciences to agriculture.

3 International experience

If you are interested and qualified, you can apply for our double degree program. You will have the opportunity to study abroad at University of Liverpool at the price of Chula’s tuition and fee. This allows you to obtain two degrees from one dissertation/thesis.

In addition, together with the Graduate School, we jointly provide fundings for research internships and academic conferences oversea.

4 Well designed curriculum for diverse student background

We expect students from several backgrounds; therefore, we design our curriculum to fulfill the area that students are lacking. If you have no programming experience, no worries! We provide a programming course for students with zero programming knowledge. Likewise, if you are from a computer science background, we provide a course that will strengthen your molecular biology background.

5 Close interaction between professors and students

Our faculty members give first priority to our students. They are responsive to the needs of students. We guide you through your research questions and along the way you develop necessary skills to be an independent scholar. We are all ears for your personal problems too.

Career Opportunities

Lecturer, researcher, scientist in public and private sectors.

Abroad Opportunities

Besides the double degree program, students have an opportunity to conduct research or attend academic conferences abroad, funded by the program and the Graduate School.
