Greetings to all future Leaders,
 

Welcome to the School of Management (SOM) at the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) — where ambitious minds and bold ideas come together to shape the leaders of tomorrow.
 

In a business world defined by constant innovation, being a leader means more than mastering management knowledge — it means cultivating a mindset that embraces change, acts responsibly, and contributes positively to society. At SOM-AIT, our MBA program is thoughtfully designed to equip students not only with cutting-edge business expertise but also with a global mindset, a commitment to sustainability, and the agility to thrive in an increasingly digital and interconnected world.
 

What makes our MBA unique is the way we bridge academic excellence with real industry experience. Our faculty includes distinguished Ph.D. scholars alongside experienced executives and practitioners from top organizations worldwide. This co-teaching model brings the best of both worlds to the classroom — rigorous theory and practical, up-to-date insights — ensuring that every lesson is relevant and applicable.

We also believe in the power of choice. Our students can tailor their MBA journey by focusing on Digital Marketing, Business Analytics, Finance, or Entrepreneurship and Innovation. Beyond these specializations, you can gain firsthand experience through internships, expand your horizons through exchange programs, and broaden your expertise with a minor in a complementary field. For those considering advanced research or a future Ph.D., a thesis track is also available.
 

At SOM-AIT, staying relevant and responsible is at the core of what we do. We continuously update our curriculum and activities to align with emerging business trends, ESG principles, and the rapid digital transformation shaping industries today. Our graduates are prepared to lead organizations with integrity, adaptability, and a commitment to creating lasting value for businesses and communities alike.

Equally important is the community you will join. Here, you will learn alongside peers from diverse backgrounds and generations, building a global network that supports you throughout your career. Many of our alumni now hold influential roles in Thailand and around the world — a testament to the professional and personal growth that an MBA from SOM-AIT offers.
 

As MBA Program Director — and as someone who has worked closely with both academia and industry — I am dedicated to making sure that your time at SOM-AIT is inspiring, practical, and truly worthwhile.
 

If you are ready to strengthen your skills, broaden your perspective, and be part of a network of professionals who drive positive change, we warmly welcome you to join the SOM-AIT MBA family.
