Students develop their professional profile through three integrated elements:
Academic capability: Siam University + University of Victoria
A seamless academic experience combining Siam University’s applied MBA and the University of Victoria’s Master in Management, designed by UVic’s internationally accredited Gustavson School of Business.
Students benefit from practical business foundations, global management frameworks, and dual academic perspectives across Asia and North America.
Industry engagement: Built into the curriculum
Throughout the program, industry guest speaker sessions and masterclasses are timetabled as a core part of the experience.
Students engage directly with business leaders, hear real case studies, and build professional networks while they study.
A non-credit internship strengthens your transition into the workplace.
Networks and location: Bangkok as a career platform
Bangkok is Southeast Asia’s leading commercial hub, home to the regional headquarters of hundreds of global corporations, a thriving startup ecosystem, and a genuinely international professional community.
Studying here means the city itself becomes part of your education and the launchpad for your career.
