On 22 May 2007, a delegation of 79 students and 13 Professors from Ramkhamhaeng University, Bangkok, Thailand, visited Swinburne University of Technology, Faculty of Business and Enterprise to undertake a one day International Development Management Program.

The Program was initiated by Ms Natthada Pimsarn (Swinburne International in-country Thailand Manager) and Ms Justine Koster (Business Development Coordinator - International) for the purpose of international university linkage and collaboration and marketing of our Master Programs to potential international students.

In Bangkok in March 2007, Justine Koster signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Acting Dean of the Faculty of Political Science, Ramkhamhaeng University, Associate Professor Anongthip Eksaengsri, to cooperate in the development of an International Executive Education Program for Master of Arts (Public Management) students from Ramkhamhaeng University.

The Program included a welcome address by the Dean of the Faculty of Business and Enterprise, Professor David Hayward, a campus tour and a full, one day, academic Program consisting of a lecture in Human Resource Management and workshops.

The academic Program was convened by Mr Richard Ballantyne, Lecturer, Human Resource Management and Program Director, Master of Business (HRM) and supported by Dr Janet Gregory and Ms Joanne Fenton for the workshops.

Students and staff from Ramkhamhaeng University received Certificates of Participation and were very happy with the reception and the Program that the Faculty prepared.

This was a very successful university linkage with potential for future collaboration.
