About คณะพัฒนาการเศรษฐกิจ GSDE NIDA (Graduate School of Development Economics)
The Graduate School of Development Economics (GSDE, คณะพัฒนาการเศรษฐกิจ) is a faculty of the National Institute of Development Administration at its Seri Thai Road campus in Khlong Chan, Bang Kapi. It combines economics teaching and research with programmes directed at business, financial analysis, administration and development. NIDA identifies the faculty office on floors 14–15 of the Nawamintharathirat Building. Programme choices include master’s study in economics, business economics, financial economics and investment, and economics and administration; an international PhD in Economics; a Thai doctoral programme in Policy and Strategy; and the joint KMITL–NIDA Financial Engineering pathway. Formats, admission criteria and fees differ by programme. Current notices include online master’s recruitment and international PhD applications extending into 2027, rather than one common faculty-wide admission date. The image is the faculty’s Economics NIDA profile mark from its officially linked Facebook account, retrieved on 6 November 2026. Its original design/upload date is unstated; it is a brand image rather than a photograph of the faculty’s office or classrooms.
Degrees, formats and published cost examples
Which faculty should applicants enquire with?
This listing is GSDE, the Graduate School of Development Economics, rather than NIDA Business School or another faculty on the same campus. Its own programme menu includes economics and business-economics master’s study, Financial Economics and Investment, Economics and Administration, an international PhD in Economics and a Thai Policy and Strategy doctorate. The KMITL–NIDA double degree combines KMITL’s bachelor-level Financial Engineering award with NIDA’s master’s award; it is not a general claim that this graduate faculty independently runs all undergraduate courses.
What approximate Business Economics costs and duration are published?
The programme FAQ gives whole-course estimates of THB 99,000 for regular study and THB 220,000 for the special on-site format, the latter including teaching documents. It describes about two years for regular study and 1.5–2 years for special study. Its online special-programme FAQ separately estimates THB 170,000 and approximately one year eight months, with weekend teaching. These undated published estimates are not an individual current invoice and must not be transferred to Financial Economics or a PhD. Ask about the exact intake, total compulsory charges and payment/refund arrangements.
What is published for the January 2027 online Financial Economics and Investment intake?
The September 2026 class-21 notice describes weekend online block teaching, with applications for round 3 from 3 October to 19 November 2026 and study beginning 16 January 2027. Its eight-page announcement requires a recognised bachelor’s degree and at least one year of post-degree work or investment experience by the start date, plus suitable internet-connected equipment. It lists a THB 1,500 non-refundable application fee, approximately THB 64,300 for the first stated semester and THB 193,400 across the programme. These are that intake’s estimates. Applicants should check the notice, their documents and any later changes before applying.
What international PhD application dates and study plans are current?
The faculty’s 9 October 2026 notice gives deadlines of 4 December 2026 for Plan 2 (2.2), 5 February 2027 for Plan 1 (1.1), and 12 March 2027 for Plan 2 (2.1). The ten-page 2026–27 announcement distinguishes a master’s-entry research plan, master’s-entry coursework/research plan and a bachelor’s-entry route with first-class honours or at least GPA 3.50. It specifies supporting academic records, a statement of purpose, references, English requirements and plan-specific documents. A THB 1,000 application fee is separate from tuition. Confirm the exact plan and current announcement; eligibility and acceptance are individual decisions.
How are PhD tuition and scholarship conditions described?
The international PhD programme page publishes THB 6,000 per credit, THB 4,000 registration per semester and THB 20,000 special activity charges per semester, with additional nationality-related charges and other expenses. Request a complete plan-specific quotation rather than treating a credit rate as the total degree cost. Scholarship arrangements have separate academic, work and continuation conditions and may require repayment if conditions are not met; a scholarship is not guaranteed by applying. Read the relevant current award terms before accepting.
Faculty contacts, location and practical enquiries
Which programme contact should prospective students use?
NIDA’s faculty listing gives 02 727 3178 as the general office number. The faculty contact page directs Financial Engineering enquiries to 02 727 3176, Business Economics to 02 727 3177, Financial Economics to 02 727 3180, international PhD enquiries to 02 727 3640 and Policy and Strategy doctoral enquiries to 02 727 3199. Current notices also list @econnida for the faculty, @mfenida and Jittima.d@nida.ac.th for the financial programme, and phdecon@nida.ac.th for international PhD enquiries. These programme emails are not presented as one universal faculty mailbox.
Where should visitors go and what should be confirmed?
The faculty office is on floors 14–15 of the Nawamintharathirat Building at NIDA, 148 Seri Thai Road, Khlong Chan, Bang Kapi, Bangkok 10240. The faculty contact page mentions arrival via Seri Thai/Sri Burapha Road and Khlong Saen Saep boat travel to Wat Sri Bun Rueang Pier. Routes and services can change; confirm the building entrance, actual appointment and onward route. The map’s daily 08:30–16:30 indication does not establish weekend office staffing. Parking charges, visitor registration and an accessible route to the office were not independently established.
How current are the sources and profile image?
Research on 6 November 2026 inspected official faculty and NIDA pages, the current admissions calendar, the September 2026 online master’s announcement and the October 2026 international PhD announcement through public search retrieval and machine text. Direct automated requests to several NIDA pages were blocked; no access-control workaround or application submission was performed. Programme deadlines and undated FAQ estimates can change. The image is the Economics NIDA mark from the faculty’s officially linked Facebook profile, with original design/upload date unstated; no unrelated faculty’s classroom or generic campus image is presented as this office.
