Most Web sites of Thai universities seem to be designed to avoid comparison. It's more likely, however, that most Web sites were designed to impress the president, rather than to attract and inform future students (the worst example of all is the Chula Web site). Since in many cases information is incomplete, outdated or not available at all, we cannot serve you with a comprehensive overview of all graduate programs in Thailand, which would enable you to decide on what's the best program for you.

So we do what we can: The table below shows you in each area links to entry pages for your search.

As a foreign student, please be aware that each university is free to focus on students who "understand Thai culture". The less information is offered to foreign applicants on a university's Web site (or the higher the surcharge for foreign students), the less welcome this foreign student will be. But don't worry: There are enough universities that are more than happy to welcome you! Anyway, both sorts of universities exist.

Some tips for your decision-making process

Verify the information below with your university. We aren't always sure that the university Web sites become updated after any changes. Several universities are not willing to publish any details of their program costs at all, such as tuition fees, entrance requirements, or duration of the programs, as you can see in our tables below. We cannot give you any guarantee on the tuition fees or durations listed below, therefore.

Only very few universities and colleges publish the effective cost of your international graduate studies. Many costs that remain unmentioned, such as tuition fees for non-credit courses and payments for textbooks, since most universities are not interested in price transparency. Before you sign anything, you will want to make sure that you know how much you finally will have to pay. If you want to study an mainstream program, such as an international MBA in an English program, you will want to compare the offers.

International graduate students want to benefit in their jobs and careers not only from the sheet of paper certifying their degree, but also .from the understanding gained in their studies. That needs, however, to study with top professors.

Check the credentials of the lecturers you will work with. If you would like to benefit in your job from your studies, you need lecturers who are state-of-the-art in their field. If the only qualification of a lecturer is a Master or PhD earned 15-20 years ago in this field, think again. In our fast developing sciences, this is hardly a sufficient qualification.
