This MoU is intended to facilitate academic and research collaboration as well as student exchange between FOHS MAHSA University and AMS Chiang Mai University, particularly in the fields of Physiotherapy and Medical Imaging.



The MOA exchange was followed by  the launch of the maiden  student mobility program between the our 2 universities, involving  2 MAHSA students from the Bachelor in Physiotherapy program attending a 2 weeks programme from 1stth till 14th August 2022. During this period, these MAHSA students will get to visit Rajanagarindra Institute of Child development, attend special classes on Thai massage and hydrotherapy, visit Sarahibowonpattana Hospital to learn acupuncture and many more unique learning activities while experiencing the culture and heritage of Chiang Mai city. MAHSA students will be able to broaden their perspective in Physiotherapy and Medical Imaging through this collaboration as Chiang Mai University is a public university that is constantly ranked  among the top 3 universities in Thailand.

We are certain our students will benefit from these opportunities which we provide for them to obtain international exposure and added knowledge during the duration of their studies here at MAHSA University

The Faculty of Health Sciences of MAHSA University is extremely proud to partner the Faculty of Applied Medical Sciences Chiang Mai University and hope this collaboration will provide a richer learning experience for our Health Science students and open the way for more cooperation between MAHSA University and Chiang Mai University in other areas.
