Dhurakij Pundit University (DPU) is collaborating with the Board of Investment (BOI) to train specialized architects for the wellness industry.
Strategic Wellness Collaboration
Dhurakij Pundit University (DPU) has entered a strategic partnership with the Board of Investment (BOI) and the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation (MHESI). The initiative focuses on developing highly skilled professionals capable of designing spaces for the global wellness sector.
The program aims to strengthen Thailand's soft power by integrating traditional Thai wellness elements with modern architectural standards. By training a new generation of "wellness architects," the university seeks to position the nation as a premier destination for health and medical tourism.
Boosting Thailand's Soft Power
The partnership emphasizes the intersection of design and health services. The curriculum and training frameworks will support the expansion of Thailand's wellness industry, specifically focusing on:
- Integrating Thai food and nutritional science into wellness facility design.
- Creating international-standard environments for holistic health retreats.
- Aligning academic training with the investment needs of the global wellness market.
This collaboration ensures that educational outcomes meet the rising demands of the medical and wellness sectors. By bridging the gap between academic expertise and industrial investment, DPU and the BOI aim to create a sustainable pipeline of specialists.
Supporting National Economic Goals
The integration of these disciplines supports broader national goals to promote Thai wellness culture globally. Through this initiative, the participants will gain the technical skills required to manage large-scale wellness projects that combine architecture, nutrition, and preventative healthcare.
