The ADB-JSP Scholarship, a premier study in Thailand initiative, invites international students from ADB member countries to pursue master’s degrees at the Asian University of Technology (AIT), a top-tier institute in Bangkok. Established in 2021, AIT is a global development hub, fostering innovation and sustainable leadership. Supported by the Asian Development Bank (ADB), this AIT master’s program offers 26 specialized programs, immersing scholars in a multicultural academic adventure that drives economic and environmental progress across Asia-Pacific nations.
AIT’s master’s programs (1–2 years) span fields like Sustainable Development, Environmental Engineering, Business Administration, Data Science, Civil Engineering, and Climate Change. Sustainable Development scholars design green policies, while Environmental Engineering students innovate in water management using AIT’s advanced labs. Data Science programs explore AI-driven solutions, and Civil Engineering focuses on resilient infrastructure. Business Administration and Climate Change courses address global markets and carbon neutrality, respectively. Delivered in English, the curriculum, guided by world-class faculty, achieves a 90% employability rate within six months in roles like sustainability consultants, data analysts, or infrastructure engineers.
The ADB-JSP Scholarship emphasizes global academic networking. AIT’s diverse community, representing over 40 countries, collaborates through events like the AIT International Innovation Summit or Asia-Pacific Sustainability Forum. Partnerships with institutions like UNESCO and Kyoto University enable exchange programs, enriching the global academic network. Scholars present at conferences such as the International Climate Change Symposium, working with industry leaders like Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, enhancing career prospects. AIT’s entrepreneurship hubs foster innovation, with 10% of graduates launching startups in green tech or data analytics.
Bangkok, Thailand’s vibrant capital, enriches the multicultural academic voyage. Scholars explore cultural landmarks like Wat Arun, Grand Palace, and Chatuchak Market, immersing in Thailand’s rich heritage. Cultural events, such as Loi Krathong or Songkran Festival, blend tradition with community spirit. AIT’s modern campus in Pathum Thani, featuring cutting-edge facilities like AI research centers, digital libraries, and sports complexes, supports a multicultural academic immersion. Bangkok’s tech ecosystem, home to firms like True Corporation, and its connectivity to Singapore and Hong Kong, foster networking and professional opportunities.
