Department-Level Review of Student Research Ideas for the 2026–2027 Academic Year

Recently, the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities conducted a department-level review of student research ideas, marking the beginning of its student research activities for the 2026–2027 academic year. This important step aims to provide an initial assessment of the relevance, feasibility, and potential directions for developing the proposed research ideas. It also gives students an opportunity to receive academic feedback from lecturers before finalizing their research proposals.

This year, the departments undertook the review of 35 student research ideas. Of these, the Department of Tourism reviewed 20 ideas and recommended 13 for consideration at the faculty level. The Department of Social Work reviewed eight ideas, six of which were recommended. In the Department of Sociology, seven ideas were registered, five were presented for review, and all five were recommended to proceed to the faculty-level review.

According to the schedule, the student teams will submit their finalized research proposal documents on October 19, 2026.

The Faculty is expected to convene its faculty-level Student Research Proposal Review Committee on October 23, 2026. With the guidance and support of lecturers, together with the proactive and conscientious efforts of the student teams, the Faculty expects the research proposals to be further refined in terms of content, methodology, and feasibility, thereby contributing to the improvement of student research quality in the 2026–2027 academic year.
