Findingthebestuniversityorcollegeandtheperfectprogramtomatch
interests, skills and career ambitions is an exciting time for all students and
their parents as they get ready to make the wonderful transition from high
school to university life.
Now more than ever with AEC soon opening amazing new prospects,
it is imperative for anyone entering university to think ‘international’.
With this in mind, the Seventh Annual International Programs in
ThailandHandbook is an excellent reference to begin a productive search
into educational choices.
With revised and updated information, descriptions and details, along
with two new sections, interviews with two universities and a list of
The ASEAN University Network member universities, this edition is a vital
source of answers to the most important decision in your life; a decision
that should be based on the latest information regarding educational
opportunitiesavailable.
As Thailand continues to play an expanding and dynamic role in the
region, FTC’s goal to provide graduating high school students with
unbiased information about international programs has gained a reputation
unmatched by any other publication of its type.
This year’s handbook sees a massive 10,000+ copies being printed.
Our increased print-run is needed as the handbook is now freely
distributed to students at 130 international schools, 158 private bilingual
schools and 176 schools with English and Mini English Programs
throughoutThailand.
In addition, our 2013 handbook is shared with counselors at all
internationalandbilingualschoolsinThailand,120+leadingThaihighschools,
500+ school, university, public and corporate libraries, 170+ foreign
embassies and consulates in Thailand, all Thai embassies and consulates
overseas and finally, starting this year, our handbook will be
distributed to all counselors and librarians at international schools
throughout ASEAN.
We continue to place our handbook in as many places as we can as
we know from feedback received that a great many students have started
their educational search with our content as an indispensible reference.
Easy to find, it is increasingly being recognized as providing a clear
and concise introduction to educational opportunities available in
The Kingdom of Thailand.
In closing, I would like to add that we believe our Handbook -
InternationalProgramsinThailand plays a vital role in a continuing and
widening trend to support friends and colleagues at the institutes included.
This handbook is our way to show our continuing support for our
friendsineducationastheystrivetodevelopThailandasaleaderinproviding
exceptional international programs to a growing number of Thai and

Higher education policies
Thailand’s Higher Education Development
Plan has been formulated and integrated into the
successive 5-year National Economic and Social
Development Plan, interfacing educational
activitiestotheeconomic,socialandculturalgoals
of national development. The OHEC has
developedtheSecond15-YearLongRangePlan
onHigherEducation(2008-2022),whichhasbeen
considered a significant innovation in higher
educationadministration.Theobjectiveoftheplan
is to provide recommendations on directions for
development of higher education with diversity
and differences that are responsive to the
country’s development.
The key theme of the Long Range Plan is
an effort to eliminate persistent problems of the
Thai higher education in order to set the right
directions for higher education development,
lessen duplication, upgrade quality, and enhance
efficiency.
In order to strengthen Thai higher education
system, the Long Range Plan has set a major
goal to be achieved by developing Thai higher
education institutions into 4 categories
comprising of (1) research and graduate
universities, (2) specialized and comprehensive
universities,(3)4-yearuniversitiesandliberalarts
colleges, and (4) community colleges.

As science and technology has the major
role to play in strengthening the nation’s self-
reliance, sustainability, and competitiveness,
centres of excellence in priority areas of science
and technology were established as the
inter-university consortia in 1999. At present,
there are altogether 71 academic units from
25 universities/research institutions participating
in 11 Centres of Excellence namely: (1) Centre
of Excellence for Innovation in Chemistry,
(2)CentreofExcellenceonEnvironmentalHealth
and Toxicology, (3) Centre of Excellence on
Hazardous Substance Management, (4) Centre
of Excellence on Petrochemicals and Materials
Technology, (5) Centre of Excellence on Energy

(7) Centre of Excellence on Postharvest
Technology Innovation, (8) Centre of Excellence
in Mathematics, (9) Centre of Excellence in
Physics,(10)CentreofExcellenceonBiodiversity,
and (11) Centre of Excellence on Medical
Biotechnology.
A new movement in higher education in
succession to the Second 15-Year Long Range
Plan on Higher Education is the announcement
of the 11th Higher Education Development Plan
(2012-2016) formulated as a direction to
strengthen Thai higher education with “LEGS”
strategy, i.e.
L = Leader of Change Management for
Quality Education (All for quality education and
quality education for all),
E = Educator professional,
G = Graduates with quality and social
responsibility, and
S = Satangutilization
Educational standards and quality
assurance
The OHEC has a significant mission to
encouragefull-fledgedqualityassurancesystems
within all public and private higher education
institutions by providing policy guidelines,
supporting for knowledge sharing activities, and
implementing related international projects.
The quality systems are the external quality
assurance (EQA) conducted by the Office for
National Education Standards and Quality
Assessment (ONESQA) and internal quality
assurance (IQA) prepared in the form of
self-study report by institutions of higher
learning. A self-study report consists of
9 aspects of quality factors provided by the
OHEC. They are 1) philosophy, commitments,
objectiveandimplementationplan,2)teachingand
learning, 3) student development activities,
4) research, 5) academic service to the
community, 6) preservation of art and culture,
7) administration and management, 8) finance
and budgeting and 9) quality assurance

In order that Thai degrees are internationally
recognized, the OHEC has intensively
encouraged Thai higher education institutions to
work in close collaboration with many leading
institutions around the world to heighten the
quality of instructors and programs.
Thai Qualifications Framework for
Higher Education
In addition, the Thai Qualifications

external reviews, and for employers in
understanding the skills and capabilities of
graduates they may employ.
TheThaiQualificationsFrameworkforHigher
Education and the guideline in implementing
the Thai Qualifications Framework or Higher
Education have been proclaimed in July 2009 to
serve as guidelines for higher education
institutions in developing or improving their
programs of study and the teaching, and
enhancing the quality of education provision so
as to produce quality graduates, and for the
purpose of higher education qualifications
recognition.
Under the framework, it is required that the
quality of graduates at every level of qualifications
and course/field of study fulfils the domains of
learning set by the OHEC. At least 5 domains of
learning need to be fulfilled, i.e. ethics and moral,
knowledge,cognitiveskills,interpersonalskillsand
responsibility, and numerical analysis and
communicationandinformationtechnologyskills.
Development of infrastructure and
networking system
• The Inter-University Network (UniNet)
The Inter-University Network or UniNet
King Mongut’s University of Technology Thonburi
serves as fundamental information technology
infrastructure linking all in-country higher
education institutions to foreign education
institutions. During the year 2010-2013, UniNet
has been developed to be a national backbone
network for research and education for academic
institutions called National Education Network or
NEdNet. NEdNet provides a powerful network
infrastructure placing the fiber optic transmission
covering all provinces in Thailand. More than
26,000kilometerslongservesasaninfrastructure

International education
• International programs in Thai higher
education institutions
International programs are broadly
delivered in a variety of disciplines both at
undergraduate and graduate levels including the
certificate programs by public and private higher
Mahachulalongkornrajavidyalaya University
education institutions. Prominent visiting
professors and scholars from well-known
international higher education institutions are
invited to give lecture in order that students get
better global perspectives.
The number of international programs is
annually rising responding to the demand of both
Thaiandforeignstudents.In2012,bothThaipublic

30 other degree programs. Foreign and Thai
students can take courses for credits from those
programs.
In addition, joint programs are offered in
different disciplines by Thai higher education
institutions as a result of the growth in
international education. The OHEC made
a survey to Thai higher education institutions
in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 and found the
increasing number of joint programs from 61 in
2009to63in2010,92in2011and114programs

  • 12. Findingthebestuniversityorcollegeandtheperfectprogramtomatch interests, skills and career ambitions is an exciting time for all students and their parents as they get ready to make the wonderful transition from high school to university life. Now more than ever with AEC soon opening amazing new prospects, it is imperative for anyone entering university to think ‘international’. With this in mind, the Seventh Annual International Programs in ThailandHandbook is an excellent reference to begin a productive search into educational choices. With revised and updated information, descriptions and details, along with two new sections, interviews with two universities and a list of The ASEAN University Network member universities, this edition is a vital source of answers to the most important decision in your life; a decision that should be based on the latest information regarding educational opportunitiesavailable. As Thailand continues to play an expanding and dynamic role in the region, FTC’s goal to provide graduating high school students with unbiased information about international programs has gained a reputation unmatched by any other publication of its type. This year’s handbook sees a massive 10,000+ copies being printed. Our increased print-run is needed as the handbook is now freely distributed to students at 130 international schools, 158 private bilingual schools and 176 schools with English and Mini English Programs throughoutThailand. In addition, our 2013 handbook is shared with counselors at all internationalandbilingualschoolsinThailand,120+leadingThaihighschools, 500+ school, university, public and corporate libraries, 170+ foreign embassies and consulates in Thailand, all Thai embassies and consulates overseas and finally, starting this year, our handbook will be distributed to all counselors and librarians at international schools throughout ASEAN. We continue to place our handbook in as many places as we can as we know from feedback received that a great many students have started their educational search with our content as an indispensible reference. Easy to find, it is increasingly being recognized as providing a clear and concise introduction to educational opportunities available in The Kingdom of Thailand. In closing, I would like to add that we believe our Handbook - InternationalProgramsinThailand plays a vital role in a continuing and widening trend to support friends and colleagues at the institutes included. This handbook is our way to show our continuing support for our friendsineducationastheystrivetodevelopThailandasaleaderinproviding exceptional international programs to a growing number of Thai and internationalstudentsseekingqualityeducationinalandknownforitshospitality.
