Welcome to Mahidol University

About Mahidol University

History

Mahidol University has its origins in the establishment of Siriraj Hospital in 1888 by His Majesty King Chulalongkorn (Rama V), and the hospital’s medical school is the oldest institution of higher learning in Thailand, granting its first medical degree in 1893. Later becoming the University of Medical Sciences in 1943, Mahidol University was renamed with great honor in 1969 by H.M. King Bhumibol Adulyadej, after his Royal Father, H.R.H Prince Mahidol of Songkla, who is widely

known as the ‘Father of Modern Medicine and Public Health in Thailand’.

Mahidol University has since developed into one of the most prestigious universities in Thailand, internationally known and recognized for the high caliber of research and teaching by its faculty, and its outstanding achievements in teaching, research, international academic collaboration and professional services. This diversified institution now offers top quality programs in numerous social and cultural disciplines, including the most doctoral programs of any institution in Thailand, yet has maintained its traditional excellence in medicine and the sciences. Location Located in the cosmopolitan city of Bangkok, Mahidol University is able to draw on a wide range of educational, cultural and social activities to augment and complement its modern academic resources and diverse research activities. The university has three campuses in the Bangkok metropolitan area: the large suburban campus at Salaya in nearby Nakhon Pathom province, and two inner city campuses, in Bangkok Noi on the Chao Phraya River, and in Phayathai near the Victory Monument. In addition, the College of Management has an office tower in central Bangkok. There are also new provincial campuses in Kanchanaburi and Nakorn Sawan and Amnatcharoen, although they are limited to Thai students at present. Our modern computer network and the Mahidol University Library and Information Center network provide computing and library services, and electronically link all the campuses. Each campus also has a full range of academic, research, accommodation, cafeteria, sport and recreation facilities, as well as a lively academic calendar, ensuring a well-rounded experience for both staff and students.

About IHRP

Institute of Human Rights and Peace Studies (IHRP) The Institute of Human Rights and Peace Studies (IHRP) is the result of a recent merger between Mahidol University’s Center for Human Rights Studies and Social Development (est. 1998) and the Research Center for Peacebuilding (est. 2004). IHRP combines the experience and perspective both centers have to offer. IHRP is uniquely interdisciplinary and is redefining the fields of peace, conflict, justice and human rights studies, in the Asian Pacific region and beyond. The Center for Human Rights Studies and Social Development (CHRSD) was established in 1998. For more than ten years, it served as an academic institution specialized in human rights, with a track record in providing postgraduate education as well as training programs to students, human rights workers, human rights defenders, members of civil society organizations and government officials. The MA in Human Rights started by the CHRSD is the longest running graduate degree program in Human Rights in Asia. The Research Center for Peacebuilding was founded in November 2004 as a research center with the impetus to be part of the peaceful solution to conflicts in Thailand especially the conflict in three southernmost provinces: Pattani, Yala, and Narathiwat. The Center has developed and implemented considerable action and participatory research projects. These projects focus on facilitating cooperative efforts to deal with the conflicts through opening space for dialogue at all levels, reduce the violence and to identify needs of community and society. Also, the projects provide input for new public policies, in order to transform conflicts and build just and peaceful society. Our focus remains on social and political realities at the community, national and international levels. The IHRP is committed to the advancement of human rights and peace by educating human rights and peace practitioners, promoting outreach programs to community and international organizations, and conducting cutting edge research on important issues. Vision : Institute of Human Rights and Peace Studies plays a leading role in Academic Enquiry and Practical Wisdom in Human Rights and Peace building. Mission : Promoting learning excellence in human rights and peace and engaging communities in the transformation towards just peace. There is an increasing demand for trained human rights academics and professionals in the Asian region, as evidenced by developments such as the creation of an ASEAN human rights body as well an on-going need for effective and evidence-based policy. IHRP at Mahidol University (MU) in Thailand is uniquely poised to respond to these demands by offering progressive, high quality, international human rights graduate programs, with a focus on Asia. As a leader in human rights and peace education in the region, IHRP is committed to promoting human rights, peace and development studies through our degree programs and research and training activities.

Plagiarism at IHRP Students will not be allowed to pass a course or graduate from a program if it is found that any piece of their assessed work has been plagiarized. Defining Plagiarism Plagiarism is when a student uses someone else’s work and pretends it is their own. The most common forms of plagiarism are:

• Cutting and pasting from a web site into your paper without referencing • Copying word for word from a written document without referencing • Paraphrasing another source with basic word changes, without referencing • Using already existing written academic work, such as already written essays, as your

own work There is a difference between poor referencing and plagiarism. Plagiarism is where the writer pretends the words and ideas are their own. Poor referencing is when the link between the written work and the author is not made clear in the paper. In some cases poor referencing could be seen as plagiarism if the copied idea or paraphrased work is not clearly linked to the author. Penalties for Plagiarism. Clear cases of plagiarism, when work cut and pasted into paper and not referenced, or when work cut and pasted, then paraphrased, and not referenced, the submitted work can be failed. In cases where work is cut and paste, or paraphrased, and poorly referenced, this can lead to a resubmit, or a failure depending on how serious the plagiarism is. First Warning: In all cases the first time this occurs the student will receive a warning, and be asked to resubmit the work. The lecturer may request to the program chair that the student should submit all assessed work firstly to Turn It In before it can be assessed. Second Warning: If students plagiarize a second time, after they have received an initial warning, they can: -fail the course -fail the assessment. Third Warning: The third time a student is plagiarizing, after they have received a second warning, they will be requested to leave the program. Contesting a Plagiarism Penalty. In cases related to the first and second warning, if a student considers they have not committed plagiarism, they may appeal to the Program Chair. Contesting the third warning, a fail grade for a course, or if the student considers they did not receive a fair judgment from the Program Chair, they may use the Mahidol University appeals mechanism, available through the Faculty of Graduate Studies.

21

Reference Guide

To protect students from committing plagiarism, the Institute naturally requires them to follow the Reference and Citation Guide available for use and download in the interactive website of Anglia Ruskin University. This interactive website helps student to cite and make Reference in their papers and theses in proper way that plagiarism could be minimized. The 56-page Guide can also be downloaded or printed from the following website. Whenever students have some questions related to citing and referencing, they can simply contact the webmasters of this website. Of course, students can also discuss the possible inquiries around citing and referencing with teachers in IHRP.

https://libweb.anglia.ac.uk/referencing/harvard.htm

Turnitin

Another effective method to avoid plagiarism is Turnitin that comfortably assists students to check the parts of their papers or thesis that are citations from other sources before or after they submit their written words to class or other purposes. This Turnitin not only calculates the proportion of materials used in a paper or thesis that is coming from cited materials outside of the paper or thesis but also reveals the cited materials and their sources. With this kind of checking, students can find out before or after submitting a written work which of the parts of their paper or thesis have been citations (marked in colors). Students could easily protect their privacies by not letting anyone else to see the results of the Turnitin check onto their own papers or theses by having their own Turnitin Account.

You can get a Turn it In account at http://www.li.mahidol.ac.th/eng/account-turnitin/

Mahidol University International Day

Each year around June, Mahidol University organizes an International Day for international students and staff. On this day of celebration, Thai and international students and staff stage performances, representing their national cultures and on traditional dress, representing the diversity of cultures which contribute to the university’s international atmosphere. All international students and staff are cordially invited to attend.

Money Matters

Bringing Money into Thailand -- Traveler’s checks or an ATM or other bankcard are the easiest ways to bring money into Thailand. Hard currency (especially US dollar) traveler's checks are widely accepted and easily exchanged at banks for a small fee, and offer better rates of exchange than cash. Bank drafts and wire transfers charge a larger commission and can take a long time to process. Banking -- Foreigners can easily open a savings account in Thai baht in Thailand (but a very steep minimum deposit, around US $10,000, is required to open a foreign currency account). There are 3 banks located on Campus; Siam Commercial Bank, Krungthai Bank and Bangkok Bank. Foreigners can easily open a savings account in Thai baht in these 3 banks. A valid passport and a

minimum deposit (about 500 baht) are required, plus an initial fee of a few hundred baht.

Part D

23

Monthly account fees are minimal. Large bank branches usually have English-speaking personnel. Most banks also issue an ATM card immediately for a fee of around 200 baht. ATMs are plentiful in cities throughout the country, and cards can be used in the ATMs of different banks and in some cases overseas. Many ATMs accept foreign cards on standard systems such as Plus, Star, Cirrus, Maestro, Visa and MasterCard. Credit Cards -- Major international credit cards such as American Express, Diners, Carte Blanche, MasterCard and VISA are widely accepted in Thailand. Living Expenses Expect to spend about 10,000 - 20,000 per month for living expenses, including accommodation. Prices vary widely and living costs depend largely on whether one shop in cheap markets or ritzy shopping malls, eats at home, at street stalls or fancy restaurants, etc.

International student activities International Education program will not be completed unless cultural exchange is organized.

Therefore, Student Services Section at FGS offers International Student Activities to all

international students in collaboration with student’s unit there Thai student from different

program /faculties in MU get together and formalized their activities bases on FGS regulation.

GETTING TO SALAYA Salaya is located 20 km from the center of Bangkok and is linked to the cosmopolitan life of Thailand’s capital city by a modern expressway, which makes it an idyllic location for students who want to commute on a daily basis and for those who want to live among the scenic beauty and calm of Salaya.

Transportation Transportation options in Bangkok include buses, taxis, trains, tuk-tuks, river ferries, the BTS Sky train, monorail system, motorcycle taxis, vans, and subway. Although road traffic is often heavy, transportation is easy to find and inexpensive. Visit the website www.into-asia.com for in-depth information on transportation in Bangkok. Buses -- Several different types of buses in Bangkok include green mini-buses (6.50 baht) and red 'normal' buses (7 baht); blue-and-white buses equipped with fans (8 baht); air-conditioned blue buses (11-19 baht depending on distance); orange air-conditioned buses with (12-24 baht); and special air-conditioned pink express mini-buses that follow select routes for higher fares. Remember that differently colored buses with the same number do not follow the same routes. Overall the bus system is an efficient and very cheap service. For route information, buy a good bus map or visit the Bangkok Metropolitan Transport Agency website at www.bmta.co.th . Buses are a convenient way to travel between Bangkok and Salaya Campus. The air-conditioned buses No. 515 and No. 547 run on different routes from Phuttamonthon 4 Road to Bangkok. Regular bus No. 124 runs from Phuttamonthon 4 Road to Pinklao west of the Chao Phraya River (and continues into central Bangkok), connecting to the Express River Ferry at Pinklao Bridge Other Regular buses No. 125 and No. 84ก also runs on different routes from Phuttamonthon 4 Road to Samsen Train Station and Klongsarn Pier. Commuting between Bangkok and Salaya Campus by train (a 1-hour trip) is also possible, though less convenient.

Trains -- Several train stations in Bangkok on the nationwide network make it possible to ride the system to many places around the city, including the airport. The State Railway of Thailand runs express, fast and ordinary train services throughout the country at reasonable fares. For information and reservations, call 1690, (0) 2222 0175 6621 8701, or visit www.railway.co.th. Vans -- Shared vans (‘rot dtoo’) follow a fixed route, seat 10 people, and cost around 25-40 baht -- cheaper than taxis but more expensive (yet faster) than buses. Drivers wait until the van is full before embarking and usually do not stop to pick up passengers, although they will let you off anywhere along the route. Vans run between Salaya Campus and Pata Department Store in Pinklao.

Taxis -- Taxis in Bangkok are very cheap by international standards, and most are pleasantly air-conditioned. Most drivers use the legally required meter, but some might 'negotiate' an inflated price. If a driver refuses to use the meter, simply find another taxi; they are plentiful. Fares start at 35 baht for the first two kilometers and increase at a rate of 5 baht per kilometer. At night when traffic is light, taxis are definitely the quickest means of transport. Note that tipping is not normal practice in Thailand. The taxi hotline (dial 1661) provides a pick-up service for an extra 20 baht.

Bus 515 Mahidol Salaya - Victory Monument

29

Taxis at Salaya are usually available at the small taxi stand on Phuttamonthon 4 Road in front of the campus. From Salaya expect to pay about 125 baht to Central Pinklao, 190 baht to Siam Square, 250 baht to Don Muang Airport and 800 baht to Suvarnabhumi Airport.

Tuk-tuks -- Thailand's infamous tuk-tuks are a unique form of 3-wheeled transportation with a metal cage seating 2-3 persons built around a motorcycle-like front end. Generally speaking, they are best for short distances; over long distances, buses and even taxis are more economical. Be sure to agree on a (negotiable) fare with the driver before setting off. Motorcycle Taxis -- Motorcycle taxis cost approximately the same as tuk-tuks and are generally used for short distances in areas without heavy traffic, such as a long soi, or lane, off a larger avenue. Drivers wear distinctive colored vests and congregate at key

intersections. River Ferries -- River ferries are a cheap, pleasant and often quicker alternative to the congested roads. The Express River Ferry travels the Chao Phraya River from Wat Ratsingkhon in the south to Nonthaburi in the north, the entire 1-hour and 15-minute trip costing only 13 baht. Numerous stops at piers along the way on both sides of the river have signs in Thai and English. Tickets costing 9-13 baht depending on distance can be bought at the piers or on the boat. The boats, colored white with orange stripe along the side, run regularly from 6:00 a.m. At rush hours, certain boats only stop at main piers and the fare is a fixed 18 baht. Smaller 3 baht ferries also regularly cross the Chao Phraya River from many piers. Free maps of routes and pier locations are available at most main piers. For more information, call (0) 2222 5330. BTS Skytrain -- The BTS Skytrain has two lines converging at Siam Square: the Sukhumvit line from Sukhumvit Soi 81 to Mor Chit in the north, and the Silom line from the National Stadium to WongWian Yai in the south. It is very convenient and comfortable for travel around the Silom, Siam Square, Sukhumvit and Mor Chit areas, and much quicker than buses. Additional extensions to the Skytrain system are currently being constructed. Subway -- The Bangkok subway runs from the city’s main railway station, Hua Lamphong, under the major thoroughfares Rama 4 Road and Ratchadaphisek Road, and connects several hotels, shopping centres and business districts, as well as the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center. The route is 20 kilometers long with 18 stations and three interchange stations that connect to the Skytrain, with more interchange stations to come on stream after line extensions to the Skytrain are completed. The subway operates from 5.00 a.m. to midnight daily. Driving to Salaya Campus -- If driving from east of the Chao Phraya River (central Bangkok): cross the river westbound over either the Phra Pinklao Bridge or Rama 8 Bridge. These two routes meet in Pinklao; follow Phra Pinklao Road westward. Alternatively, cross Sang Hee (Krung Thon) Bridge from central Bangkok on Rajvithi Road, which becomes Sirinthorn Road and then meets the Phra Pinklao Road route in Taling Chan. All routes then follow Boromrajchonnee Road westward toward Salaya.

Continue straight on Boromrajchonnee Road, following the signs to Nakhon Pathom or Nakhon Chaisi, and eventually the sign to Salaya. The exit to Salaya is on the left; once off Boromrajchonnee Road, stay in the right lane, which veers off to the right on a flyover, crossing Boromrajchonnee Road onto Phuttamonthon 4 Road. The well-marked gates of Mahidol University are immediately on the left after descending from the flyover.

A toll-free elevated expressway with faster traffic also runs from the Pinklao area over Phra Pinklao Road and Boromrajchonnee Road most of the route to Salaya. The route coming from Rama 8 Bridge goes directly onto the elevated expressway while the other two routes begin at ground level.

When searching for an apartment, note the following:

Rent -- Average monthly rent is about 3,500-6,500 baht for a 20-30 square meter, furnished single room with air conditioning, bathroom and perhaps a balcony. Most apartments require an advance deposit of two or three months' rent. Security -- Although most apartment buildings have security guards, it pays to be extra careful. In addition to a built-in lock, most apartment doors have a metal ring for an extra padlock that should definitely be used. Telephone --Telephone service varies from place to place, though a surcharge of 100 baht per month is standard. Most apartments do not have a direct line; individual local calls usually cost a 5 baht flat rate and often have a time limit, about 10 minutes on average. Calls to mobile phones and long distance cost more. International calls are often not possible in apartments, but they can be made at an international public phone booth and post office, or by using an international phone card or a mobile phone. Mobile phones are popular in Thailand and are available at moderate costs.

Utilities -- Most apartment buildings will add a surcharge to the electricity bill of about 5 baht per unit. The electricity bill can be very high if air-conditioning is used regularly. Expect to pay around 600 baht per month for electricity (without excessive air-conditioning) and around 100 baht per month for water for a one-room apartment. A cost-saving option in this regard is to buy a fan (about 500 to 700 baht).

Laundry -- Coin-operated washing machines are common at apartment buildings. Many private services are also available, charging by item or a flat rate per month, which can be more economical. Note that hand washing is common for many Thais, and clothes dry very fast under the Thailand sun.

Furnishings -- The definition of ‘fully furnished’ varies widely. A good fully furnished room provides a bed, telephone, desk, chair, wardrobe, and possibly a refrigerator, television or cable service, sometimes with English language channels.

Note: Students have to pay 2-3 month deposit plus 1 month rental fee in advance. The cost of electricity and water is not included
