Sasin Graduate Institute of Business Administration of Chulalongkorn University

For the past 32 years, Sasin has provided a first-rate management education that strengthens people, communities and the entire ASEAN region. As part of Chulalongkorn University --Thailand’s oldest and most prestigious academic institution Sasin is located in a peaceful, park-like setting in the heart of Bangkok.

Sasin was the first Asian school to cultivate fruitful partnerships with top business schools in the United States—including Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management and the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School.
