Suan Dusit University (SDU) upholds the principle of “Education for All with Equality” and is committed to ensuring access to higher education free from gender bias. Under the Regulation on Equality and Gender Equity B.E. 2566 (2023), the university has clearly stated that “no discrimination shall be made on the basis of gender.” This policy ensures that women and gender-diverse individuals have equal rights to apply, enroll, and participate in academic activities on the same basis as men.
Article 11 of the regulation explicitly provides that:
“The University shall promote gender equality in educational opportunities, allowing women, men, and gender-diverse persons to apply for admission and participate equally in all academic programs, with equal access to scholarships and university welfare without discrimination.”
This policy reflects the university’s strong commitment to fostering a safe, fair, and inclusive academic environment. SDU has established the Committee on Gender Equality and Equity, which supervises, advises, and promotes gender-responsive policies across all university operations, including student admissions. Key mechanisms include:
- Setting non-discriminatory admission guidelines
- Monitoring gender-disaggregated data of applicants and enrolled students
- Providing scholarships for women in underrepresented fields
- Establishing complaint channels to protect applicants’ rights
Furthermore, SDU integrates gender equality principles into its career guidance and outreach activities, inspiring young women to pursue diverse academic fields—especially in technology, science, and law. The policy is publicly accessible through SDU’s official website, ensuring transparency and accountability in promoting women’s rights and equitable education.
Suan Dusit University’s Policy for Women’s Applications and Entry thus serves not only as an operational framework but also as a pledge of commitment—demonstrating SDU’s dedication to advancing Sustainable Development Goal 5 (SDG 5: Gender Equality) and building a truly inclusive and equitable society.
