Especially, in order to maximize opportunities for students to join high-quality international programs, VKU has provided substantial financial support covering round-trip airfare, insurance, accommodation, main meals, and group transportation throughout the learning period in Thailand. The funding is sourced from ODA-supported projects aimed at enhancing the University’s education, training, governance, and research capacity, along with other collaborative projects. This support policy further demonstrates VKU’s strong commitment to accompanying students on their journey toward global integration and comprehensive development.

Participation in the “KMUTNB International Leadership Camp 2026” not only provides valuable international learning and networking opportunities for VKU lecturers and students but also reinforces the University’s strategic commitment to the internationalization of education.
