Voices of MWITS Alumni
Almost all MWITS students graduate with top honors, and have made the school proud with admissions to the world’s top Ivy Leagueuniversities. Since a large majority of MWITS students are from humble beginnings, the school is especially proud of its students’ achievements in obtaining scholarships from these top-ranked universities in the world. A good percentage of students also go on and win the Thai government scholarships to pursue their degree from bachelors to doctorates in order to fulfill their ambition of being researchers and scientists.

 

 

I am not a genius… however, the fact that I am a physics major at Cornell University, which has one of the best physics departments in the world, is evidence of the solid science foundation I obtained at MWITS”.

A member of the team of the world’s first invention “Siam Gasohol Kit (SG-Kit)”, led by Prof. Duangjai Nakhapreecha of FIRST (Flow Innovation-Research for Science and Technology Laboratories) - Mahidol University. This innovation can read the result of ethanol level in fuel accurately within 2 minutes.
I always thought I would be a doctor. That was before I came to MWITS. The school’s exceptional curriculum introduced me to the world of Chemistry and from there on I knew that this was IT!...The numerous lab works, field trips to research institutes and the chance to work alongside famous Chemistry professors made it all so fascinating! Should I have gone to another school, I would not have discovered my real calling!

The country’s No. 1 student in the national ONET(Ordinary National Educational Test) examination for Grade 12 in 2008, scoring the highest in five core subjects.

At MWITS, I found my true vocation in life. The curriculum and training allowed me to be inquisitive. Teachers were great and devoted and I owe my small success today to them.

Scholar of Ministry of Science Thailand

I still cannot believe how far I have come. I used to have no dreams, no purpose, until I got to meet the most talented, the most special, and the most unique teachers and students, who inspired me to set up my own determination that finally brought me here. To me, those three years in MWITS was truly precious

The only thing I expected when I first stepped in MWITS was to experience high level of academic environment, but what I got was amazingly much more. Not-to-mentioned ‘intensive’ curriculum, best learning environment, and countless outstanding teachers, MWITS had taught me how to learn effectively and have fun at the same time. Community services and student activities organized by the school were things I got the most out of. They not only enhanced my social skills, but also enabled me to meet so many cool friends. We helped each other and learned that we could contribute more. We shared our dreams and we believed that with our passion, it would come true. We worked hard and we knew that our successes would  mean our country’s future. MWITS is actually molding students to be great learners and excellent leaders who are ready to drive the country forward together.

"I learned a lot from MWITS, not only the knowledge from classes but practical experiences such as, how to deal with various kinds of people, how to keep a balance between work and extra-curricular activities, and how tobe a leader. MWITS gave me an opportunity that I wouldhave never gotten if I was  in other schools.

I learned programming from the required programming classes. I liked it a lot, so I decided to join the IPST camps and participated in the Olympics.   That's why I'm here at MIT today. Thank you, MWITS.

"I dreamed to be a doctor for 16 years.
But being at MWITS, it made me realized
that I could be a scientist. MWITS didn't put
me on the science track or forced me to love
science, but it taught me how to inquire, think,
and understand reality. I'm proud to say I was
schooled there!
