The United Kingdom Professional Standards Framework (UKPSF)was introduced to STOU by Professor Dr. Wichit Srisa-an, the First Principal Fellowship of Thailand,
in 2019. The university has since employed UKPSF as a tool for human resources development to enrich the professional growth for both faculty members and supporting staff.
The Advance HE awards 4 different categories of fellowship including (1) Fellowship (2) Associate Fellowship (AFHEA), (3) Fellowship (FHEA), (4) Senior Fellowship (SFHEA) and (4) Principal Fellowship (PFHEA), as recognition of expertise.
At present, Sukhothai Thammathirat Open University (STOU) uses the “SMART Principles” training program, co-developed by STOU and Advance HE, which award Associate Fellowship (AFHEA) to the qualified participants.
