Research and the Bachelor of Laws Curriculum in Thailand’s Southern Border Provinces

Abstract

This article examines the relationship between research and the development of the Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.) curriculum in Thailand’s southern border provinces. It focuses on analyzing the local context, social issues, legal needs, and area-based educational management in order to propose approaches for curriculum development that align with the context and learning needs of students in the southern border region. The findings indicate that integrating research into curriculum design enhances the capacity to address area-specific legal problems and strengthens graduates’ competencies, enabling them to be well prepared for professional practice in multicultural and conflict-affected contexts.
