Degree courses for foreigners in Chiang Mai

[JeffersLos]

I'm ( English speaking Westerner) interested in doing a degree course while living in Chiang Mai. (not for the visa ????) 

 

Is there a list of courses offered by universities or colleges here? I believe the school year begins around May here, so I'm interesting in seeing what is on offer.

 

Any info appreciated.

 

TIA.

Just Google for: [Name of university] international program

Surely if you're interested in university study here, you should know how to use Google.  Simply use the words "International College" and the name of the University and you'll find that some of the local universities offer degree programs in English.  For example, Payap:

is it a degree in weedology you're after?

Payap seems to have interesting courses...  though not sure if it is more for amusement and learning. I am not as sure what they have for degrees.

I would recommend Chiang Mai University as they have some good International Courses. Just google them and you will find their listing. I believe they have around 10 undergraduate degrees you can work for. But don't wait until the last minute, as you have to submit paperwork and etc. a couple of months before class starts. I almost didn't get in, as some of the courses only allow 10 foreign students. I am working on a Bachelor Degree in Science (Nursing). I'll be finishing my first year at the end of March.

I'm actually doing a PhD in "women's behaviour".

Everyday hands on as I am now on my last 7 year practical before moving on to the next degree.

This is for high school graduates. How about graduate level courses to audit?

You add "masters" or "graduate" to the search term

Using a forum is better.

 

You say you don't know and then others run around, do the leg work for you, and post the answers while you relax. ????

Go to Amsterdam.  Weedology is in its infancy here and you'll never get a license anyway.

How many courses are in English? Are the teachers native English speakers?

All of the International courses are in English. Your teachers are Thai and they speak English. Of course some are better then others. All students must know English to be able to attend any of the International classes.

Be better doing an Open University degree

The ranking of Thai universities is very low in world rankings. So I don't know whether it's a waste of money studying here. You won't be able to get a job in Thailand or rest of the world easily.

If you obtain a 4-year degree you can teach at any of the International schools and they do pay a decent monthly wage. As for myself I working on a Bachelor degree in Science (Nursing), which once I return to the USA can be credited as if I attending school in the USA. I have several friends that have already did it this way and they are now RN's and making some very good money. The reason they came here, is because it is a fraction of the cost compared to attending a University in the USA.
