Siam Commercial Bank has signed a memorandum of cooperation with Chulalongkorn University’s Sasin Graduate Institute of Business Administration regarding integrated learning and development of the digital platform-based ecosystem in educational institutions.

The cooperation is being forged as part of the “Sasin School of Management for a Digital World” project initiated under the “First into the Future” concept.
“We are Thailand’s first educational institution offering an MBA programme in English, with almost all our lecturers coming from overseas and applying international education standards,” institute director Paron Israsena Na Ayudhya said. “More importantly, we are the country’s first and only graduate school accredited by both AACSB and Equis.”
Paron said Sasin is forging ahead to develop education, cooperating with Siam Commercial Bank for the school’s integrated digital transformation, which will greatly benefit lecturers, executives, students, personnel and alumni. 
The plan will also boost networking. 
Most importantly, students will enjoy added convenience with cashless transactions, the use of the Sasin-SCB App for managing class schedules, and the full benefit of virtual classrooms through which students can access learning anywhere in the world.
SCB president and chief executive Arthid Nanthawithaya said SCB was pleased to play a role in fostering Sasin’s proactive policy, which will contribute to propelling the Thailand 4.0 strategy under which digital technology is given an important role in all segments of society.
