All you need to make up your mind: The Study Guide Thailand

This Web site introduces you to international university degree programs conducted in either English or Chinese. It is made by students and lecturers of international programs at Thai universities and their international colleges and graduate schools. In this friendly and warm Asian country and culture, you will have a great time. All university programs are accredited and globally recognized, from regional universities with a more Thai character to globally competitive programs. You are very welcome to study for a full degree or just a semester abroad in Thailand!

Cost of living is very affordable on an international scale, and so is cost of study (tuition fee) at most Thai universities. Thailand is not really a 'cheap' country, however. As it is anywhere else, you get what you pay for. Prices vary widely, and so does quality, from 'Asian style' (rote textbook learning) to 'western style' (developing understanding and skills). This Web site aims to be your guide to making a qualified decision and a discussion forum for your questions independend of whether you want to study a degree program, just spend one semester abroad as an exchange student, or take continuing education in the friendliest country in Asia. By the way, any foreign student is called an 'exchange student'. It does not need a formal exchange agreement with your university back home to study one semester abroad in Thailand.

Degree programs in English cover a wide range of academic fields, such as accounting, architecture, arts, biotechnology, business administration (marketing, finance & banking, general management, hotel & tourism, international business, and more majors), applied chemistry, economics, education, engineering (as well as nano, aerospace, automotive, manufacturing engineering), information technology, law, mass communications and journalism, medicine, music, nursing science, risk management, science and technology, and many more.

The grades offered follow the US system with Bachelor (B.A., B.B.A., B.Ed., B.Eng., B.Sc. etc.) in undergraduate studies, and Graduate Diploma, Master (M.A., M.B.A., M.Ed., M.Eng., M.Sc., LL.M. etc.), and doctoral degrees (D.B.A., D.Eng., E.D., LL.D., Ph.D. etc.) on graduate and post-graduate level. The terms 'international college' and 'international graduate school' are not clearly defined. Some international colleges only offer graduate studies. The same one can say about 'international program' and 'English program', which are often used synonymously. That is misleading, since some universities offer international studies in a 'Chinese program', conducted in Chinese (Mandarin), as well.

Don't worry that your English might not be sufficient for studying in an international study abroad program in Thailand! Our experience shows that every student has a quite impressive passive knowlege and just lacks speaking. As more English is your every day language, as faster you will master it. It's a matter of weeks, rather than months!

We are looking forward to welcoming you in Thailand, be it just for a semester abroad or for a full degree program!
