SSRU Launches 5th Cohort of Esports MBA: Shaping Pros for the Global Business Arena



Complete in 1 Year – Apply Now for a Fully Funded AI & Esports Study Trip to Shanghai and Guangzhou

The MBA in Esports and Entertainment Management at Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University (SSRU) is now accepting applications for its 5th cohort. The program aims to cultivate executive talent targeting Gen Z and Alpha demographics. In an exclusive offer, students will receive a fully funded study trip to Shanghai and Guangzhou, China, to explore world-class Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Esports business models firsthand.

Dr. Pichet Kerdvichai, Chairperson of the Master of Business Administration Program in Esports Business and Entertainment Management (MBA Esports & Entertainment) at SSRU, announced that the program is open for applications for the 3/2025 semester. Applications are open from now until April 14, 2026, with classes scheduled to begin on Saturday, April 21, 2026. To accommodate working professionals, classes are held exclusively on Saturdays and Sundays.

Dr. Pichet further highlighted that this is the first Esports-focused MBA in Thailand designed for completion within just one year. The curriculum focuses on developing professional "Entrepreneurs" and "Executives" rather than gaming skills. It covers essential pillars such as budget management, digital marketing, and copyright law. The program is ideal for Startup owners, Esports Arena operators, Influencer agencies, and Media & Production professionals seeking a gateway into the high-growth "New S-Curve" industry.

“We emphasize learning from industry leaders through executive networking. The core objective is to master the Esports Ecosystem and manage profitable tournaments. For this cohort, we are offering a special privilege: a fully funded trip to present academic work and study AI and Esports in Shanghai and Guangzhou, China, from October 1–8, 2026. This is a vital opportunity to witness the world's largest Esports business empire at no additional cost,” said Dr. Pichet.
