The IP-HSM in partnership with the Center of Excellence on Hazardous Substance Management (HSM) of Thailand is the first program in Thailand that focuses on hazardous waste management. The program offers MSc and PhD degrees to students with a science or engineering background. The program provides students the opportunities to study with renowned foreign professors, Thai faculty members, and a native English class instructor throughout their studies. Students have opportunities to conduct their research with professors and researchers from three organizations of Chulalongkorn University, including the Faculty of Engineering, Faculty of Science and Environmental Research Institute. The global educational environment and low student- to -faculty ratio (2:1) have made the program attractive and highly competitive for students worldwide.
