The ASEAN Studies Graduate Program consists of a Graduate Certificate and a Master's Degree. It is intended to promote regional and global understanding about ASEAN Countries from the perspective of ASEAN; increase the ASEAN community's consciousness of its common historical, cultural, and regional identity; and obtain a balanced perspective in ASEAN studies.
The framework of the program was jointly developed by five (5) Open Universities in the ASEAN region, namely, Universitas Terbuka (Indonesia), Open University of Malaysia, Sukhothai Thammathirat Open University (Thailand), the Hanoi Open University (Vietnam) and the Open University (Philippines).
The program is designed for post-baccalaureate individuals, professionals, practitioners (diplomats, policy analysts, educators, business people, public servants, NGO staff, development workers) and others who are interested, qualified, and academically competent to pursue a graduate level education.
