Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok, Thailand, offers fully funded scholarships for international students entering selected M.Sc. and Ph.D. programmes in medical and biomedical sciences. The covered tracks include the M.Sc./Ph.D. in Clinical Sciences (International Program), the M.Sc./Ph.D. in Medical Sciences (English Program), and the Ph.D. in Biomedical Sciences and Biotechnology run as a double degree with the University of Liverpool. Selected students receive full tuition fee coverage, research funding and a monthly living allowance, allowing them to focus on graduate research at one of Thailand's top universities. The application cycle ran from 1 December to 11 April for the 2024/25 round, with interviews held across April and May, so the 2026/27 round is expected to open around December 2026 and close around 11 April 2027. Applicants must submit transcripts on a 4.00 GPA scale, an English test score, a CV and 2 recommendation letters, and incomplete applications are not considered.
