Admission

For prospective students who seek to advance their knowledge, research skills, and career in nanotechnology-related areas, we offer 2 different paths toward your goals at the master’s degree level:

Course work only program

Conventional track for those who plan to pursue their degree after graduation or have limited working experience and can dedicate their time fully at school. Candidates have the freedom of exploring and seeking research topics of their interest from university-wide research platforms.

Non-course work program

(recommend for industrial employees)

Non-conventional track for professionals who would like to pursue their research goals but are constrained for time because of their job. Candidates must have a specific research topic, supportive research infrastructure, and permission from their employer. Their research plans need to be discussed with and approved by an academic advisor before applying.

Prospective graduate candidates should apply directly to the International Program they are interested in. Application deadlines vary according to each program. Websites and email contacts are provided with each program’s description. For the programs that can be applied on-line via the graduate school’s system, please refer to Chulalongkorn Graduate School’s Online Registration Page and Admission News Page.
