Students in conversation with representatives at the Mahidol University International College booth, eager to learn more about global study opportunities
The photo captures students engaging enthusiastically with representatives at the Mahidol University International College booth at the Global Education Fair, held in January 2026 at the University’s basement concourse. In a first, this year’s Fair was organised into two distinct zones. Universities from Oceania, the Americas and Europe lined the longer arm of the T-Junction, creating a vibrant corridor of global opportunities. Participating institutions included the University of Sydney, University of Minnesota and University of Glasgow, among others. The shorter arm of the T-Junction featured an Asia Pavilion spotlighting partner universities from China, Indonesia, Japan, the Philippines, South Korea, and Thailand. This curated cluster, which attracted large numbers of students, underscored the growing interest in regional opportunities and reflected SMU’s commitment to deepening engagement within Asia.
