Introduction of Overseas Partners’ Institution

Chulalongkorn University was the first comprehensive university in Thailand. The university was originally established in 1871 as the Royal Page School in the reign of King Chulalongkorn or King Rama V. The school was founded with the objective to produce scholars to serve the King in the government service. The university has since provided equal opportunities in higher education for all Thai people as this was the intention of King Chulalongkorn as reflected in his royal words: “All of our subjects, be they royals, nobles, or commoners, will have the same opportunity to study”. This intention was adopted by his son, King Vajiravuth or King Rama VI, who founded the Kingdom’s first university in 1917 and named it Chulalongkorn University in honour of his father. Since the university’s inception, it has maintained a reputation for excellence in its academic standards. Further information can be obtained from www.chula.ac.th.

At Chulalongkorn University, the College of Population Studies was established in early 1966 as an autonomous research and training unit of Chulalongkorn University. It was then called the Population Research and Training Center up to 1970, when the name was changed to the Institute of Population Studies (IPS) by a royal Decree to confer a higher status. In order to serve the rapid changes in socio-economic and demographic trends in both research and training aspects, the Institute was once again upgraded in status by a Royal Decree to become "the College of Population Studies" in November 1998. The College of Population Studies is offering a Master’s and Ph.D. programs in Demography. Courses are delivered in Thai language. It is in the process of planning for an international program at the Ph.D. level, in collaboration with its international network. The College also provides population information and consultation to government and private organizations; publishing a population newsletter and journal, research reports, and related articles, and distributing them to the public.
