Voting

You vote in three elections.

  • The Thammasat University Student Council (TUSC, สภานักศึกษา).
  • The Thammasat University Student Union (TUSU, องค์การนักศึกษา or อมธ.), which has a central body and one for each campus.
  • Your programme's student committee. For BIR, that is BIRSA.

TUSU

TUSU is elected directly by students. It has a central union and separate unions for Tha Prachan, Rangsit and Lampang. TUSU organises activities for student life, protects student rights and welfare, and supports clubs, activity groups and faculty student committees.

Contact TUSU Tha Prachan.

TUSC

TUSC is also elected directly by students. It is a university-wide body of 100 members from students at Tha Prachan, Rangsit and Lampang. It takes student complaints and welfare issues to the university's administrators, approves the budgets that TUSU, clubs and activity groups draw from the student activity fund, and checks how that money is spent.

Contact TUSC at Tha Prachan.
