dition, MOU formally signed by presidents among 20

public universities in Thailand regarding research and

academic collaboration in PhD in CS programs will

play important roles for the research advancement

supporting Thailand 4.0. Industrial collaborations will

also be established to further enhance the potential

of those innovative implementations for the benefits

of the academic and industrial communities. Career

advancement will consequently be augmented.

Computing facilities are available through the de-

partment computer lab, as well as the 9 laboratories.

Ph.D. International Program in Computer Science Located in Khon Kaen, the heart of northeastern

Thailand, and hub of business area, industries and

healthcare centers, the Department of Computer Sci-

ence is at the frontier of interdisciplinary research be-

tween Computer Science, Information Technology and

Geographical Information Systems. The department

has conducted a wide range of advanced research

activities in close cooperation with Thailand Research

Fund (TRF), Office of the Higher Education Commission.

As a consequence, the Ph.D. International Program

in Computer Science offers an excellent opportunity

and environment for individuals who wish to pursue

in-depth knowledge and advanced research in com-

puter technology. Moreover, the fact that this is an

international program makes it ideal for international

students who are interested in oversea studies and

cross cultural learning.

International Research Collaborations and Academic Innovation for Career Advancement The Ph.D. in Computer Science International

Program is designed to corroborate the existing Ph.D.

Program in Computer Science and related areas. All

research activities are conducted by the 9 laboratories,

namely,

• Semantic Mining and Information Integration

Laboratory (SMIL)

• Logistic and Supply Chain Laboratory (LSCL)

• Machine Learning and Intelligent Systems (MLIS)

Laboratory

• Natural Language and Speech Processing

Laboratory (NLSP)

• Applied Network Technology Laboratory (ANT)

• Advanced GIS Technology Laboratory (AGTL)

• Advanced Smart Computing Laboratory (ASCL)

• Hardware-Human Interface and Communications

Laboratory (H2I-COMM)

• Ubiquitous Computing Laboratory (UCL)

Based on the above research spectra, the Pro-

gram will expand the state-of-the-art that has already

been established by its forerunning Ph.D. Program.

Various innovations and technical know-how can

then be realized through dissertation research. In ad-

Financial Aids • Graduate teaching and research assistantship

• Khon Kaen Univesity Scholarship

• Thailand Research Fund (TRF)

• National Research Council (NRC)

• Office of the Higher Education Commission

(OHEC)

General Information A Master’s degree in Science or Engineering having

GPA no less than 3.25, or be approved by the pro-

gram’s committee.

Tuition FeeThe academic year consists of two semesters.

The student must enroll at least 9 credit hours

in each semester for a total of 48 credits.

Tuition fee is 55,000 baht per semester.
