Our interdisciplinary curriculum fosters creativity, enabling students and alumni to make important contributions to their fields. Graduates from programs that focus on single disciplines often commit errors that can be better detected by people familiar with two or more disciplines. Many intellectual, social, and practical problems require interdisciplinary approaches but enjoy greater flexibility in their research. Interdisciplinarians may help to bridge communication gaps in modern academia, thereby mobilizing enormous intellectual resources for the causes of greater social rationality and justice. By bridging fragmented disciplines, interdisciplinarians might be able to play roles in defending academic freedom.
At ICO NIDA, all courses are conducted in English with 10 distinguished concentrations in the Master of Arts in Management program, and 2 concentrations in the Master of Communication Arts and Innovation program. PhD programs are also offerd in Management, and in Communication Arts and Innovation. The College has a number of exchange and double-degree programs with partnered universities world-wide.
“It is my great pleasure to be appointed as the Dean of the International College of NIDA. According to NIDA’s long-term plan (Year 2008 - 2022) approved by the NIDA Committee, there are 8 strategies for NIDA to become a leading university in Thailand. The 6th strategy is to maintain of academic excellence in terms of program courses, research, and academic administration, which should correspond to the society’s needs. This establishes strategies in terms of the development of programs and courses that are able to meet the demands of a constantly changing society under various external pressures, and to substantially cover subjects in the area of development administration. The offering of international programs in management will help strengthen the field of development administration studies, which has always been the symbol of NIDA. Also, as the government academic institution to open only to graduate students for more than 40 years, NIDA has experience and expertise in administering a graduate school in the field of administration studies.”
