An MOU has been signed with Naresuan University, pledging to work on five initiatives:

  • The business case is being prepared for an articulated two-year coursework masters program, with one year in Naresuan and one year in Rockhampton or Mackay. The program will be entirely in English.
  • Joint supervision of a research masters program.
  • Staff exchange, possibly related to research activities rather than teaching.
  • Student exchange.
  • Developing a systematic process for junior staff of the MIS Faculty, Naresuan, to complete their PhD at CQUniversity.

Naresuan University is located at Phitsanulok, 350km north of Bangkok.
