For the newest cohort of students at the Chulalongkorn School of Integrated Innovation (CSII), the pathway to cracking tomorrow’s education was unveiled at the Exploration Day organized by the School on June 29, 2023. 

\"We are embarking on a journey towards hacking the future, and for that, you need to be primed for a journey of lifelong learning. The school considers the world to be our living lab, and at CSII, we aim to prepare a new breed of global citizens for the future,\" CSII Executive Director Professor Worsak Kanok-Nukulchai told a group of wide-eyed youngsters who have been admitted to the fifth cohort of the four-year Bachelor of Arts and Science in Integrated Innovation (BAScii).

\"Over four years, you will develop key 21st-century skills, including collaboration, communication, computer fluency, creativity, critical thinking, and cross-cultural management. This will be based on a foundation of essential courses in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, AI Literacy, Business, and Social Science (STEAM+AI+B+SS),\" Professor Worsak revealed. “Alongside these are future literacies consisting of the skills needed to imagine possible, preferable futures and understand the forces that shape them through real-world subjects, global megatrends, and community engagement,” he added.

The new batch of students formally starts their classes in August, and one of their first engagements will be a compulsory AI literacy camp – a bold new initiative by the School that seeks to ensure that all its students remain at the cutting edge of new-age developments.

Sharing the range of opportunities available to students was Dr. Warinya Chemnasiri, Director of Academic Affairs at CSII. Each student is required to spend a semester abroad, and opportunities for internships and project work range from corporates and industry to international universities, governments, and international organizations, Dr. Warinya told the new students.

Newly-admitted students continue to be the very best of high school graduates, with the average SAT Math score of admitted Thai students a stellar 733, far above the School\'s requirement of 640. Their average IELTS score was 7, again above the requirement of 6, indicating that CSII continues to be the destination of choice for some of the best students in Thailand. Close to half of the admitted students come from international schools in Thailand. The international cohort includes students from China, India, Indonesia, Hong Kong, South Korea, Taiwan, the US, and Vietnam.
