On July 29, 2024, Faculty of Pharmacy, Mahidol University sent three undergraduate students to travel abroad to participate in the 2024 NPU Summer Program at Nihon Pharmaceutical University, Tokyo, Japan. The pioneering participants, including Ms. Boonyanath Soonthornchuen, Ms. Boonraksa Neesanan, and Ms. Nattamon Mitranya, represented the first group of MUPY students to engage in this exchange program, which took place from 29 July to 9 August 2024.
The Student Mobility Program was designed to enrich the participants with global knowledge, professional practices, and international exposure to Japan’s pharmacy education, healthcare, and pharmacy systems. This experience aimed to broaden their professional horizons and enhance their understanding of international pharmacy practices. Additionally, the students immersed themselves in Japanese culture, which contributed to their personal growth and increased cultural competence. Through this exchange, MUPY not only increased the capacity of its students but also enhanced its international visibility. This collaboration with Nihon Pharmaceutical University underscores MUPY's commitment to fostering international educational partnerships and preparing its students for a globalized professional environment.
This student exchange program strengthened a strong relationship between MUPY and Nihon Pharmaceutical University. It also corresponded to the Faculty of Pharmacy's Mission of producing graduates with equivalent quality to leading pharmacy institutions in Asia, equipped with morality and competency to serve the societal need. It also responded to SDG’s Goal 4: Quality Education to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all, Goal 10: Reduce inequality within and among countries, and Goal 17: Partnership for the Goals to strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development.
