Sasin Graduate Institute of Business Administration of Chulalongkorn University

Since 1982, Sasin has provided 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. Together, Sasin and its friends have created a unique and influential model whose impact has proven lasting and significant.

In 2010, Sasin became Thailand's first business school to earn international accreditation by the Association to Advance the Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), the longest serving global accrediting body for business schools. That same year, the European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD), one of the world’s leading business education accreditation bodies, granted its prestigious EQUIS (European Quality Improvement System) accreditation to Sasin.
