Application Process
We have 2 study plans for the PhD program in Peacebuilding: 4 year-plan for those who have an MA in fields other than peace studies and a 2 year plan for those who have an MA in peace studies or related fields. If your MA is an international program with the English language as the medium of instruction, you can use it as a substitute for the English certificate.
For more information, please find the 2024 program brochures, 2024 PhD application form, guidelines on application documents and tuition planning here.
The PhD Peacebuilding program of the Department of Peace Studies accepts applications at any time. However classes begin in August, and all application materials should be submitted by June 15 of each year in order to be considered for first semester admission.
Applications and supporting references should be submitted online. Please make arrangements for admission by emailing admissions_pyu@payap.ac.th and sending a copy to Dr. Le Ngoc Bich Ly (lgbl1981@gmail.com). Students needing faculty to submit letters to support scholarships, and other financial support should submit their materials earlier—please consult with us and the scholarship program. The International PhD application form will begin the application process.
