Siam University offers quality degree and non-degree programs at undergraduate and graduate levels which are drivers of Thailand 20 Years National Strategy (2018 – 2037). The strategy comprises six key strategies; namely, (1) national security; (2) national competitiveness enhancement; (3) human capital development and strengthening; (4) social cohesion and just society; (5) eco-friendly development and growth; and (6) public sector rebalancing and development. Our survey in 2023, it was found that 2,322 out of total 2,430 courses offered, most of the courses were related to National Strategic 2 national competitiveness enhancement and National Strategic 3 human capital development and strengthening. The 2024 survey revealed that the total number of courses were 2,251 due to the fact that many programs have revised their curriculum. It is noteworthy that there are changes in concentration since the highest number of the courses are related to National Strategy 3 human capital development and strengthening (1,493); followed by National Strategic 2 national competitiveness enhancement (1,425); National Strategy 4 social cohesion and just society (450); National Strategy 5 eco-friendly development and growth (383); National Strategy 1 national security (407); and National Strategy 6 public sector rebalancing and development (145), respectively. Interestingly, number of courses relating to eco-friendly development and growth increases from 296 in 2022 to 383 in 2023 and 407 in 2024.
