Thailand’s VISTEC Offers Master’s & PhD Scholarships Worth Up to 5 Million Baht

Let me present to you the Vidyasirimedhi Institute of Science and Technology (VISTEC), a treasure in Thailand that you may not have yet discovered. I promise you that this is too good to pass up.

Why VISTEC?

Consider VISTEC to be the unnoticed Ivy League of science and technology in Thailand. VISTEC, which is tucked away in Rayong's Wangchan Valley (yes, it is as picturesque as it sounds), is all about top-notch research, eco-friendly architecture, and collaborations with leading industries. There is a place here for everyone, regardless of their interests in energy, molecular engineering, biomolecular science, or information technology.

And the icing on the cake? The scholarship is fully funded. Yes, there is no need to worry about tuition, and you can even receive funding to conduct research overseas.

What’s in it for you?

Here’s where it gets exciting:

• Full scholarship worth up to 5 million Baht (no bond or obligation after graduation).
• PhD students get 1 million Baht to fund research abroad for one year.
• Top-performing PhD scholars may qualify for the Srimedhi Royal Scholarship, which doubles that support (up to 2 years abroad!).
• Access to cutting-edge labs, double degree options with top global universities, and guidance from brilliant faculty.
• Modern, eco-friendly campus with on-campus housing, sports facilities, and even weekly transport to Bangkok.

Basically, you’ll have everything you need to focus on your research, plus some pretty cool perks.

Who can apply?

If you’re in your final year of a bachelor’s degree or already have a BSc/MSc/Engineering degree in areas like chemistry, biotech, computer science, physics, materials science, energy, or related fields, you’re in the game.

So whether you’re a BSc biotech student in Delhi, an engineer in Bangalore, or a master’s grad in Mumbai, this scholarship could be your ticket to a world-class research career.
