Regarding the positioning of STIU, Chairman Li said \u201cour goal is to run STIU as a comprehensive applied university, with the focus on producing job-ready graduates to meet the demand of the society and industries.\u201d Chairman Li further explained that the next step of STIU\u2019s development is to support academic research only in the selected disciplines while building STIU as a comprehensive applied university based on our positioning.<\/p>\n

Regarding curriculum design, Chairman Li suggested that on the premise of complying with the regulations set out by the Thai government, faculty from STIU should update our curricula based on the actual level of our students and needs of the industry to provide more practical learning experience to students. In addition, STIU will make full preparations to get approval from the Thai government to offer new programs like doctoral program in Business Administration, postgraduate program in Education and doctoral program in Education.<\/p>\n

Chairman Li emphasized that the good performance from every staff member is highly related to student recruitment. He said that the student recruitment performance is the prerequisite for the university\u2019s survival and development. The quality of teaching as well as the care and attention from our staff are all related to the student recruitment performance and the development of STIU. After the students are enrolled, every staff member is responsible for retaining our students.<\/p>\n

Chairman Li put forward new requirements for the current English program to improve our students\u2019 English proficiency. He also said that Stamford will further increase the number of faculty members, especially for international faculty. \u201cWe hope to see the increase in 3 segments: the total number of both Thai and international faculty members, the ratio of international faculty members, and the teaching quality, to make STIU more international.\u201d<\/p>\n
