Thammasat University and three faculties achieved the 2026 EdPEx300 excellence rating at 300 points.

     Thammasat University (TU) and its internal agencies, which include the Faculty of Dentistry, the Faculty of Allied Health Sciences, and the Faculty of Medicine, have undergone the evaluation of educational quality towards excellence at the EdPEx300 level for the year 2026. This project is conducted by the Office of the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research, and Innovation (OPS-MHESI) to promote and support higher education institutions and internal agencies in enhancing organizational management and educational quality in accordance with international standards.

     Professor Dr. Supasawad Chardchawarn, Rector of Thammasat University, stated that the results of the EdPEx300 assessment received by Thammasat University do not measure success in just one aspect, but rather evaluate the organization’s management capabilities in a systematic manner, driven concurrently across all sectors in a tangible way. This includes leadership, strategic planning, human resource management, and overall operational outcomes. The achievements that encompass both institutional and faculty levels serve as confirmation that Thammasat has grown as a Comprehensive University with excellence across all fields of study.

     Prof. Dr. Supasawad noted that this EdPEx300 achievement is a starting point for further development, which the university will use to continuously improve educational quality, research, and organizational management.

     Assoc. Prof. Dr. Samroeng Inklam, Dean of Dentistry Faculty, Thammasat University, stated that the Faculty of Dentistry employs a management approach towards excellence based on the EdPEx criteria to continuously enhance the quality of educational management. The results of the EdPEx 300 assessment in the year 2026 reflect that the organization has increasingly systematic operational processes. Personnel at all levels are aware of their roles and responsibilities and are committed to collaborating in order to improve the unit’s outcomes. The focus is on responding to the needs of stakeholders and, importantly, on sustainable organizational development. Achieving the EdPEx 300 criteria instills confidence among personnel in advancing the organization sustainably amid constantly changing dynamic environments.

     Assoc. Prof. Dr. Seksun Samosornsuk, Dean of Allied Health Sciences Faculty, stated that the EdPEx300 reflects the achievements and developmental direction of the Faculty of Allied Health Sciences at Thammasat University towards a quality management system in a concrete manner. It demonstrates that the faculty has a systematic operational process, with clear approaches, objectives, and performance indicators that lead to actual implementation and evaluation for continuous improvement. This encompasses curriculum development, student support, research, academic services, management and development of personnel, as well as the effective management of organizational resources.

     At the same time, personnel at all levels share an understanding of the vision, mission, and strategic plan, enabling the organization to progress in a unified direction with stability, even during periods of leadership transition. This reflects the strength of the system rather than reliance on individuals.

     Importantly, EdPEx300 also reflects the focus on “organizational outcomes” in terms of educational quality, stakeholder satisfaction, operational efficiency, and the ability to achieve strategic goals, which are essential foundations for the organization’s development towards excellence and sustainability in the future.

     According to Assoc. Prof. Dr. Auchara Tangsathapornpong, M.D., Dean of the Faculty of Medicine at Thammasat University, the achievement of the EdPEx300 standard by the Faculty of Medicine reflects a systematic organizational development focused on effectiveness, process enhancement, and the creation of valuable outcomes to meet the needs of learners, service recipients, and society, as well as the expertise of the personnel involved.

     By aligning vision, strategy, and performance monitoring through EdPEx, the Faculty of Medicine drives continuous organizational development, produces adaptable leaders, and advances practical research to serve the public as a “Faculty of Medicine for the People.”

     The Rector thanked the university community for this collective achievement, which marks Thammasat as a regional leader. The EdPEx300 rating confirms the university’s high standard of systematic management, strategic planning, and focus on delivering quality outcomes for stakeholders.
