Background of Thailand
Thailand is an excellent choice for international study, known for the friendliness and hospitality of its people, rich culture, and economic development. With a fascinating blend of tradition and modernism, and exotic scenery, Thailand welcomes over 20,000 international students annually.
Tertiary education is offered at various institutions, including universities, institutes of technology, and vocational colleges. Most Bachelor's degrees take four years, with some fields like architecture and pharmacy requiring five, and medicine lasting six years. The academic year typically has two semesters (June-October, November-March) and a summer session, though some universities adjust dates to align with Western systems. Popular fields for foreign students include business administration, marketing, and international business. English proficiency, often demonstrated by TOEFL or IELTS, may be required. For Thai-taught programs, the Test of Thai as a Foreign Language is the official certificate.
