On Thursday, February 20, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM, at Meeting Room IF-10M60, 10th Floor, Faculty of Informatics Building, Asst. Prof. Pusit Kulkasem, Dean of the Faculty of Informatics, along with Asst. Prof. Dr. Komate Amphawan, Vice Dean, and Dr. Ponlawat Chophuk, welcomed Prof. Dr. Yasushi Kiyoki (Dean of the Faculty of Data Science) and Mr. Takashi Kumagai from Musashino University, Japan.

Additionally, Prof. Dr. Virach Sornlertlamvanich and Prof. Dr. Thatsanee Charoenporn (joining online), representatives from the Faculty of Data Science at Musashino University, participated in the meeting to discuss the feasibility of developing a dual degree program between the two institutions.

This program will enable students from Applied Artificial Intelligence and Smart Technology to earn two degrees by transferring to Musashino University in their third or fourth year of study. A multilingual online learning platform will be used to bridge language barriers between students from both institutions. Additionally, students will have the opportunity to participate in cooperative education (co-op) programs in Japan, gaining direct experience by working with leading companies in the country.

The program also emphasizes strengthening knowledge in data science and artificial intelligence, preparing students for the global job market. The dual degree program is anticipated to begin in 2026 and is currently in the negotiation stage to finalize the implementation plan, sign agreements, and obtain approval from relevant authorities.
