KBTG Kampus launches joint Master’s Programs with top universities including King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang (KMITL), Mahidol University (MU), and Thammasat University (TU) – to launch the new graduate programs.
This program aims to elevate Thailand’s technology education and cultivate a new generation of tech talent by providing in-depth research and study opportunities focused on real-world industry challenges. This collaboration will strengthen KBTG’s position at the forefront of technological advancement and reaffirm its status as a leading technology organization in Thailand.
Ruangroj Poonpol, Group Chairman of KBTG, explained that the KBTG Kampus project was launched in 2022 to address challenges in Thailand’s technology education. To bridge the gap between academic learning and real-world industry needs, KBTG partnered with KMITL as a pilot institution. This collaboration focused on developing undergraduate programs to establish a strong foundation for technology education in the country.
Recently, KBTG Kampus expanded its initiative by launching new master’s programs in collaboration with three leading Thai universities. These programs, co-developed with KBTG, integrate real-world research to ensure practical applications for current and future industry needs. They focus on key subjects driving technological advancement, such as data analytics, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity.
This collaboration has resulted in the creation of three innovative master’s programs:
- A Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence for Business Analytics offered by the School of Information Technology at King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang.
- A Master of Science in Cyber Security and Information Assurance (International Program) offered by the Faculty of Information and Communication Technology at Mahidol University.
- A Master of Arts and Science Program in Interdisciplinary Studies offered by the College of Interdisciplinary Studies at Thammasat University.
In addition to co-developing the curriculum, KBTG will play an active role in selecting students for the program and mentoring them throughout their academic journey. This comprehensive approach aims to bolster Thailand’s technology education and IT industry by nurturing a new generation of skilled tech professionals. This initiative further solidifies KBTG’s position as a leading technology organization in Thailand. The announcement was marked by a formal signing ceremony of Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with Mahidol University and Thammasat University.
The KBTG Kampus project currently consists of three main programs included KBTG Kampus ClassNest, KBTG Kampus Apprentice, and KBTG Kampus Co-Research.
KBTG Kampus ClassNest is a program designed to build a new generation of tech professionals through intensive bootcamp courses. Developed in collaboration with leading universities and taught by expert instructors, these bootcamps equip IT enthusiasts of all ages and backgrounds with the skills needed to thrive in today’s competitive job market.
KBTG Kampus ClassNest offers a variety of bootcamps, including Java & Go Software Engineering, Cyber Security, Infrastructure, and M.A.D. (Machine Learning, AI, Data). Since its launch in early 2024, the program has attracted over 3,000 applicants and enrolled more than 1,000 participants.
To make these opportunities more accessible, KBTG provides scholarships to select candidates. Graduates who achieve qualifying scores on post-course assessments can advance directly to final-round interviews with KBTG. Currently, applications are open for Cyber Security ClassNest #2 until November 17, 2024.
KBTG Kampus Apprentice provides university students with valuable hands-on experience and skill development through real-world projects at KBTG. This program allows third and fourth-year students to work alongside expert professionals during the academic year, gaining approximately 2,000 hours of practical experience.
Launched in partnership with the School of Information Technology at King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang, the Apprentice program has now expanded to other faculties and universities. To date, over 50 apprentices across various fields have participated in the program.
KBTG Kampus has also extended the Apprentice program to the master’s level in collaboration with three universities, offering a pilot program that combines advanced studies with professional experience. This allows graduate students to apply their academic knowledge to real-world projects under the guidance of KBTG experts.
KBTG Kampus Co-Research expands KBTG’s collaborative efforts with leading universities in Thailand and abroad, as well as government and private sector agencies, to advance technology research and development. This program focuses on creating opportunities to innovate and drive new “S-curve” businesses. It aims to bridge the gap between academic research and real-world applications, transforming deep tech research from universities into impactful products and services for users across the region.
Universities and educational institutions committed to cultivating tech talent and developing EdTech platforms are invited to collaborate with KBTG. Likewise, organizations passionate about advancing Thailand’s tech industry and co-creating industry-relevant programs are welcome to join KBTG’s efforts to enhance the technology education ecosystem.
