Education management philosophy of Prince of Songkla University

Prince of Songkla University (PSU) was established under the Southern Development Plan policy with the aim to be the leading university in the southern region of Thailand, delivering graduates, research, and academic services whilst maintaining arts and cultures. The university’s management aims to develop and deliver graduates that empower the country and follow Thailand’s student-centered educational guidelines.

          PSU’s educational philosophy is based on Progressivism, with the aim to develop students in all aspects so that they may live blissfully in the society and adapting to unpredictable circumstances utilizing student-centered approach as a learning and developmental tool. From various learners’ needs such as problem solving and research and practices inside and outside of the classroom leading to sustainable learning approach. And from the idea “change brings improvement”, learning does not end within the university but continuing throughout one’s life, the university emphasizes on a life-long learning approach.

           The above-mentioned rationale forms the basis of the outcome-based education, developing curricula and the various learning processes listed as follows. Active Learning from a variety of activities and actions including Problem-based Learning, Project-based Learning and Service Learning through community services.
