Nutsy3659 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Hello!! My sister is graduating from an international high school next year and we don’t feel comfortable sending her overseas yet. Are there any good international colleges here in Thailand that offer international degrees? Any recommendations? Thanks! — looking for recommendations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post marin Posted June 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 8, 2021 Most all of the the government universities offer an International program, with Chula and Thammasat being the most well known. Several private universities do as well. Good but not great. My kids went to international high school, but we felt it would be money better spent to go study abroad. Though a few of their classmates did attend the international programs here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlQaholic Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 (edited) Chulalongkorn has the highest international ranking in Thailand at about 63 (out of maximum 100). Next best is Mahidol. Other "International Universities" in Thailand are not even on the list. https://roundranking.com/ranking/world-university-rankings.html#world-2021 Edited June 8, 2021 by AlQaholic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post scorecard Posted June 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 8, 2021 (edited) 56 minutes ago, thailandusauk said: A degree from Thailand ! great value ! hahahaha Well not so fast, many Thai universities have exchange agreements with many universities/prestigious universities from abroad. To gain such approvals is not easy, it requires numerous checks of the credentials/accreditations and approvals, plus most unis from abroad will visit the Thai uni for a few days / a week and conduct their own detailed assessments. I can assure you the German (and other) unis are not interested in how beautiful the buildings/gardens are. Bottom line; prestigious universities from Germany (just one example) don't agree to exchange programs with Thai unis unless they are well convinced the Thai uni provides the high quality they seek. Keep in mind that in most cases the exchange student from abroad will graduate / gain a degree from their home uni. That uni won't be inclined to graduate students who have studied courses abroad without being convinced of the quality. I'm aware of several German universities (German unis are good example for this discussion) who require their students who are on an exchange program to submit a lot of detail about each course offered by the Thai uni (could include copies of materials to be used and often the credentials/experience of the professor who will teach the course). The German uni will then indicate that they will/will not accept that course and importantly accept any credits the students might achieve towards graduating from their home uni.

thailen Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 My wife got her BA in Hospitality and Hotel Management at Burapha University 's International College in Bang Saen, Chonburi. It is accredited and offers 6 business-related degrees. Her senior year was spent on a 9 month internship at a college in Singapore. Is the quality of teaching/textbooks on the same level as most U.S. public colleges? Since I helped her navigate her research(I have a PhD in psychology from a public university in the U.S.), I can say with confidence the level is equal to other public universities. By the way, Burapha University has law and medical schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Noobie Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Yes, there is. My son is attending Chiang Mai University. They have an outstanding International program, as he's working on his Bachelor degree. He just started his second year. To find out more information, just google Chiang Mai University International programs and it will show you all what they have to offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend of mine got a MBA from a well reputed British University (sorry forgot which one) on distance learning, they had an affiliate office in Thailand which he had to visit sometimes.
