The Sirindhorn International Institute of Technology (SIIT), Thammasat University, Thailand, offers graduate scholarships for international students pursuing Master’s and PhD degrees in engineering, technology and management-related fields. SIIT was established in 1992 through cooperation between Thammasat University, the Japan Federation of Economic Organisations and the Federation of Thai Industries. The institute is based in Pathum Thani and provides international programmes taught in English.
Thammasat University, under which SIIT operates, is ranked #555 in the QS World University Rankings 2027. SIIT itself does not publish a university-wide acceptance rate, so no acceptance-rate figure is stated here.
