Admissions

Special Students

Local Students

Students who would like to take some selected courses and receive the credits, but are not seeking a degree at Bangkok University, are categorized as special (visiting) students. Students who register for a course for which no credit will be received are considered auditing students. Overseas students interested in these types of studies can contact BU International.

Every local applicant must: 1. Hold a M.6 certificate or its equivalent issued by the Ministry of Education, or equivalent certificates from local or overseas educational institutions recognized by the Ministry of Education; 2. Not suffer from a communicable disease or mental disorder; and 3. Have a clear and good record of conduct. All candidates are required to pass the written entrance examination in English and Mathematical aptitude. Those who have a SAT score of at least 1000 (Critical Reading and Mathematics) or a TOEFL score of at least 61 (Internet based test score) are eligible for admission without taking the written examination. Overseas Students

To be eligible for admission, overseas students must submit a high school certificate, an original copy of the official transcript and the English proficiency test score. Applicants must complete an online application form and mail their educational credentials to BU International, which acts as the first screening body in the selection process. Overseas students must enter Thailand on a non-immigrant visa. 22 BANGKOK UNIVERSITY INTERNATIONAL COLLEGE 2 Bangkok.indd 22

The transcript, course descriptions and one letter of recommendation from a former instructor must be submitted for the purpose of the credit transfer. Student Support Services

BU International provides a wide range of support services for both overseas and Thai students enrolled in the programs. Services include counseling, tutoring advice, and information regarding visa renewal, admission, housing, financial aid and scholarships.

Scholarships and Student Loans

Off-Campus Housing

Scholarships are available to students with outstanding scholastic achievements. In addition, student loans are available to Thai students who can prove their need for financial aid. About 140 scholarships and outstanding academic achievement awards are granted to students each year. The scholarships cover tuition fees and other related fees. The majority of the scholarships are given by the University itself. Some financial institutions as well as some local business enterprises also participate in making scholarships available to students. Freshmen, transfer, and special (visiting) students, however, are not eligible for the scholarships. Scholarships are also granted to the athletes of the University while student loans are provided by the government as well. All scholarships are annually renewable and are subject to a satisfactory review of the students’ academic records. Awards available are free from any financial and employment obligations.

GENERAL INFORMATION Bangkok University

Campuses

One of the first and largest private universities in Thailand, Bangkok University is a non-profit institution of higher learning whose goal is to educate and develop students to their highest potential in this competitive and fast-changing world. Founded in 1962 by Mr. Surat and Mrs. Pongtip Osathanugrah, with the mission to provide innovative academic and practical studies in ways that will challenge the student’s all-around abilities, the University remains committed to accomplishing this mission as an institution of higher learning recognized both nationally and internationally. With a total enrollment of over 29,000 students, the University includes 11 schools that offer academic programs leading to a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Business Administration, Communication Arts, Humanities and Tourism Management, Law, Economics, Science and Technology, Fine and Applied Arts, Engineering, Architecture and Entrepreneurship and Management. In addition, the Graduate School offers programs of study in ten major fields, namely Business Administration, Business Administration in Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises, Communication Arts, Law, Information Technology and Management, Interior Architecture, Content Management and Value Creation, Entertainment Management and Production, Hospitality and Tourism Industry Management, and Entrepreneurship that lead to Master’s and Ph.D. degrees.

The University has two campuses: the City Campus (Kluaynamtai), located on Rama 4 Road in the heart of Bangkok, and the Rangsit Campus, located in Pathum Thani Province. The City Campus, home of Bangkok University International College, accommodates the Central Library, the Computer Center, classrooms, seminar rooms, faculty and administrative offices as well as other student services. International Relations

The University has good and long established relationships with international higher education institutions that lead to mutual collaboration and support in academic and cultural aspects. Examples are faculty and student exchange programs, as well as reciprocal visits by executives. Exchange students are eligible for a tuition fee waiver at participating institutions. Additionally, Bangkok University was the first higher education institution in Thailand to be invited to join the International Association of University Presidents (IAUP), for which Founding President Emeritus Dr. Charoen Kanthawongs and President Emeritus Dr. Thanu Kulachol, have served as General Secretary and Assistant General Secretary, respectively. In 2005, Dr. Thanu Kulachol, our former President and present President Emeritus, was the only delegate from the universities in Thailand who was invited to attend the Secretary-General’s Global Colloquium of University Presidents, held at Princeton University, New York, USA. The Colloquium was and still is an invitation-only meeting of some 25-30 BANGKOK UNIVERSITY INTERNATIONAL COLLEGE 27

3 GENERAL.indd 27

university presidents from around the world. The topics of discussions for the year 2005 were “Academic Freedom” and “International Migration”. In 2006, Dr. Thanu Kulachol was invited for the second consecutive year to attend the 2nd meeting of the Secretary-General’s Global Colloquium of University Presidents, under the themes of “The Social Benefits of the Research University in the 21st Century” and “Innovative Sources of Funding Global Public Goods”. The event was hosted by the UN Secretary-General H.E. Mr. Kofi Annan with other 5 world-class university presidents in New York namely Columbia University, New York University, Princeton University, University of Pennsylvania and Yale University. In addition, in 2007, President Dr. Mathana Santiwat was invited by the UN Secretary-General H.E. Mr. Ban KiMoon to attend the Secretary-General’s Global Colloquium of University Presidents, hosted by New York University, New York, USA. The 2007 meeting addressed the themes of the “Global Climate Change” and “Setting the Post-Kyoto Agenda for Climate Policy”. In 2012, President Dr. Mathana Santiwat attended the Sixth Global Colloquium of University Presidents hosted by Columbia University, New York, USA. The 2012 meeting focused on the “Global Effects of the Youth Population Surge: Addressing the Needs of the Largest Generation of Young People the World Has Ever Known”. In terms of quality development in learning, teaching, and personnel, as well as faculty and student exchange, the University currently operates in partnership with the following leading international higher education institutions:

Every university has the responsibility to help students acquire knowledge. However, Bangkok University believes that education should be more than providing knowledge. Knowledge with virtue means blending knowledge with righteousness. Combining knowledge with virtue requires reflection to see how we fit into society and how we can make that society better. Mission Statement

Bangkok University has the aim to produce the graduates with outstanding academic and practical prowess. With creativity, vision, and flexibility, students will be able to

pursue their careers confidently in this highly competitive and fast-changing world. The University serves as an academic center where academicians, experts and researchers meet, encouraging educational development and exchange of knowledge, nationally and internationally, leading to a greater service to society that underlines our theme “Advanced Knowledge and Expertise.”

Credits Attempted Grade Earned Grade Points 4 x B = 3 12 3 x A = 4 12 2 x C = 2 4 3 x F = 0 0 1 x B = 3 3 31 Grade Points = 2.38 GPA 13 Credits Attempted

Attendance

Students are expected to attend classes regularly since their attendance will be checked and recorded in every class period. Absence of no less than 20% of the total class time will be tolerated. In case of ailments, students must submit a doctor’s certificate to the instructor for verification.
