DAAD Full Scholarships Program 2020 by RWTH Aachen University is proud to offer a scholarship to support your Master’s Studies at TGGS. The second year of the program is to be spent as a research stay at RWTH Aachen University. The scholarship is financed by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) and the German Federal Foreign Office. TGGS was founded as a joint project between DAAD, RWTH Aachen and King Mongkut’s University of Technology North Bangkok (KMUTNB).

TGGS provides an industry-oriented engineering education based on the example of one of the best engineering universities in Europe, RWTH Aachen Technical University in Germany. TGGS utilizes this model in Thailand by systematically links university professors (supervisors), their students and qualified industry engineering staffs (mentors) to gradually develop university-industry interaction.

The Master level internships and the project-oriented thesis work play an important role in this scheme. Therefore this model offers the student a very good opportunity to have insight into the industrial working environment by the mentors as well as having full support from the academic side by the supervisors.

On top of this, the experienced RWTH professors, whose most of them have at least ten years of industry background, are also usually involved in the teaching and guiding the students at TGGS. In many cases, they do help to communicate with the industry and to open industry doors with their background and professional standing.
