Overview

It is the conviction of the Faculty of Nursing at Thammasat University that, in providing a continuing education that incorporates a body of learning at the doctoral level, emphasis should be directed toward the output of high-level graduate researchers whose work centers on palliative care, geriatric care, family health, and health promotion and disease prevention. 

Further, graduates achieve potential in the area of health management and administration at an international level. Graduates must be knowledgeable of the health system, health policy, and continuing quality improvements. 

Graduates must have a world view and perspective within a global context in this era of global capitalism, functioning both economically, socially, culturally, and politically, with ethics and within international law. Graduates must maintain awareness of advances in the technology in the modern world, which extend to shifting populations and the rapid transmission of data and information.
