Financial support is not available, however we make every effort to keep costs reasonable. For scholarships, please check with your home university for the availability and conditions.

Since programs organized by MUIC are offered in conjunction with other faculties of Mahidol University, MUIC is able to offer a greater variety of courses to cover a broader field of study.
