A new international partnership is expanding educational opportunities overseas.

The University of Chichester has teamed up with Southeast Bangkok University (SBU) to launch Chichester Bangkok, an academic hub in Thailand that will deliver British higher education in Southeast Asia.

Under the partnership, students will have the opportunity to earn a British qualification while studying in Thailand.

Professor Symeon Dagkas, vice-chancellor of the University of Chichester, said: "This partnership represents an exciting chapter in our internationalisation journey.

"By working closely with SBU, we are creating pathways for students to access high-quality British education while embracing the rich cultural and economic landscape of Thailand and the wider region."

The dual-degree programmes will focus on cross-cultural learning, preparing graduates for global careers, and will emphasise academic quality and integrity in line with UK standards.

The faculty has introduced a new tagline, British Qualification – Asian Perspectives, to reflect the partnership’s mission of combining the strengths of UK education with the energy and context of Southeast Asia.

Chichester Bangkok will offer students innovative teaching, industry engagement, and a curriculum designed to equip them for success in a rapidly evolving global economy.

The partnership forms part of the University of Chichester’s broader strategy to strengthen its global presence.
