PSU supports human resources development, offering graduate scholarships to Bhutanese students.

Her Majesty the Queen Mother Ashi Tshering Pem Wangchuck of the Kingdom of Bhutan paid a private visit to Prince of Songkla University during December 10-11, 2009 seeking educational cooperation between the Kingdom of Bhutan and the university .She visited the Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn Natural History Museum at the Faculty of Science, Faculty of Dentistry, and Faculty of Nursing to see its operation in Eastern wisdom.

Prince of Songkla University aiming to be an international institution with a multi-cultural atmosphere presently has 186 international students pursuing their education in different fields of study.

Thailand and Bhutan have close relations in many aspects, especially education. Thus, the two-day visit to Prince of Songkla University by Her Majesty the Queen Mother Ashi Tshering Pem Wangchuck of the Kingdom of Bhutan was a significant beginning of the relations between the university and Bhutan.

Three graduate students from Bhutan have recently graduated from the Faculty of Hospitality and Tourism, Phuket Campus, all of whom were awarded scholarships by the Thai government and tuition fees were waived for them by PSU. This year, Prince of Songkla University has offered support to the Bhutan Youth Development Fund, of which Her Majesty the Queen Mother is president, by offering graduate scholarships in biology, epidemiology, and hospitality and tourism management for the coming academic year. Moreover, during this royal visit, more scholarships have been offered by the Faculty of Nursing and Faculty of Science.

The scholarship offering provides more evidence of Prince of Songkla University’s motto, “Our Soul is for the Benefit of Mankind”. It is believed that education brings sustainability to human resource development
