Thailand International Postgraduate Programme (TIPP)

Thailand International Cooperation Agency (TICA)

Thailand International Cooperation Agency (TICA) was established on 19 July 1950, originally as a committee to “administer projects relating to President Truman’s initiatives,” and to facilitate technical and economic assistance received from foreign countries.  On 4 May 1963, the Cabinet upgraded the committee to Department of Technical and Economic Cooperation (DTEC.)  From 1972 to 2004, the Department of Technical and Economic Cooperation was part of the Office of the Prime Minister. 

Thailand International Cooperation Agency (TICA) offers fellowships and scholarships as part of bilateral and triangular development cooperation projects, TICA offers over 700 training fellowships and 70 postgraduate scholarships for government officials from developing countries around the world through Annual International Training Course (AITC) and Thailand International Postgraduate Programme (TIPP). 

Thailand International Postgraduate Programme (TIPP) was introduced in 2000 as a framework in providing postgraduate scholarships for developing partners. Believing that knowledge sharing is an important pillar of South-South Cooperation, TIPP offers opportunities for Thailand and its partners to exchange their experiences and best practices that would contribute to long-term and sustainable development for all.
