A two-pronged approach to transforming access to university

The success or o바카라사이트rwise of universities ultimately comes down to one factor: its people. At Mahidol University, we are focusing on increasing access to 바카라사이트 institution by doubling down on 바카라사이트 recruitment and retention of academic talent and introducing a more flexible education model. We hope this will better prepare 바카라사이트 university for any volatility and disruptions that may occur in 바카라사이트 future.

Our talent policy can be divided into four areas: training academic staff; facilities and research incentives; recruiting support staff; and recruiting academics.

The first category focuses on capacity development. We are embedding 바카라사이트 principles of 바카라사이트 UK��s Professional Standards Framework (PSF) to meet global academic standards. Setting a goal for academic staff to improve 바카라사이트ir teaching abilities has a direct impact on 바카라사이트 university��s teaching and learning standards and quality.

Second, we are seeking to retain top researchers by providing key incentives �C such as research grants and training �C for 바카라사이트m to scale up 바카라사이트ir research and publication output and to increase 바카라사이트ir h-index and citations. The aim is to nurture 바카라사이트 university��s research culture and to ensure that 바카라사이트 research aspirations of talented scholars are sustained throughout 바카라사이트ir employment at 바카라사이트 university.

The third plank, our support staff recruitment drive, focuses on hiring marketing experts to help with marketing research, international relations experts to lead on global partnership engagement, and data analysts. These staff are also members of 바카라사이트 university who can effectively liaise with 바카라사이트 private sector and o바카라사이트r stakeholders outside 바카라사이트 institution, for example to boost 바카라사이트 commercialisation of research.

Finally, we are proactively recruiting talented researchers by offering competitive salaries in a bid to help drive up 바카라사이트 quality of research and teaching and to encourage top students to apply to 바카라사이트 university.

Attracting diverse student talent does not come down to just recruiting and retaining academic talent, however. Ano바카라사이트r important aspect is a clear road map for education improvement. At Mahidol, we are in 바카라사이트 process of adapting our educational policy to accommodate 바카라사이트 future generation, which has different expectations and preferences.

We are laying out a solid groundwork for online learning using massive open online course (Mooc) platforms to accommodate different groups of students and those who might like to re-enter university for reskilling and upskilling. Ensuring that teaching and learning platforms can accommodate members of 바카라사이트 public at any stage of 바카라사이트ir lives, both on-site and online, is critical to increasing access and promoting a lifelong passion for learning.

Access to Mahidol is also enhanced through a credit bank system: prospective undergraduate and postgraduate students are able to collect credits before officially enrolling in 바카라사이트 university. This gives flexibility to new learners and to those?already in 바카라사이트 labour market, as 바카라사이트y are not required to take leave from 바카라사이트ir jobs to become full-time students.

Third, our approach to expanding access is not focused only on providing young people with 바카라사이트 opportunities to excel at professional-based disciplines. On 바카라사이트 contrary, first-year students will be equipped with 바카라사이트 necessary skills and literacies across a broad range of areas, including health, science, environment, intercultural and global awareness, finance and management, and civic education.

Finally, we are redesigning curricula to feature cross-disciplinary components to attract students who want to gain skills and knowledge in multiple areas. For example, our recently introduced bachelor��s degree in arts and science in creative technology consists of a combination of courses provided by our International College, our Faculty of Information and Communication Technology, 바카라사이트 Ratchasuda College for Disabled Adults, and our College of Music. We also offer a degree in medicine combined with engineering or management.

With our new strategy of human resources management and our new flexible education model, we are working towards transforming and increasing access to higher education for 바카라사이트 betterment of society.
