Kasetsart University (KU) International Programs Admission Guide

Where Kasetsart University fits

Kasetsart University (KU) is a large public university in Bangkok, best known historically for its strength in agriculture, food science and environmental fields, and today also running international programs in business, economics, engineering and other disciplines.

Many of KU's English-taught degrees sit within individual faculties, while the Kasetsart University International College (KUIC) offers its own set of international programs. Together they make KU a relevant option for a student who wants those subject areas in an English-taught setting in Bangkok.

This guide explains the general international-admission route. All program lists, tuition figures, deadlines and eligibility rules must be confirmed on KU's and KUIC's official pages before you apply.

KU international programs and KUIC

KU runs English-taught ("international") programs across several faculties, and separately KUIC delivers international degrees under its own admissions. Which route applies depends on the specific program you choose.

If your interest is agriculture, food science, fisheries or environmental science, KU's long track record in those areas is a natural draw; for business, economics, communication or engineering, check both the relevant faculty and KUIC to see where the English-taught version of your subject sits.

Because the program map and English-taught availability change over time, use KU's official undergraduate program listing and the KUIC website as your starting points rather than any third-party site.

How international admission generally works

In broad terms, you identify an eligible English-taught program, apply through the correct official portal (the KU/faculty route or KUIC's application system), submit your academic and identity documents, and complete any program-specific steps within the published window.

Some programs may ask for an interview, statement or additional documents set by the faculty or by KUIC. The precise process differs between the KU faculty route and KUIC, so read the instructions on the exact program page.

Always begin from KU's or KUIC's official admission pages; do not rely on agent portals for eligibility or deadlines.

Typical requirements (verify on official pages)

Requirements vary by program and level, but the common categories are consistent across KU's and KUIC's international admissions.

Treat the list below as the usual building blocks, not exact thresholds — the official program page is the authority.

• Completed secondary schooling (undergraduate) or a relevant prior degree (graduate), with official transcripts
• Proof of English proficiency such as IELTS or TOEFL — the exact minimum is set per program
• A valid passport and passport-style photo
• Any program-specific documents (statement, portfolio, references or interview) where required

Intakes and timeline

KU international programs and KUIC publish their own application windows ahead of each intake, aligned to the Thai academic calendar. Deadlines usually fall a few months before the term begins so enrolment and visas can be arranged.

Work backwards from your target intake: allow time for an English test if you need one, prepare certified documents, and apply inside the official window.

Exact opening and closing dates are announced each cycle on the official pages — confirm them there, and treat dates seen elsewhere as unverified.

Student visa and next steps

With an offer in hand, international students usually study in Thailand on a Non-Immigrant "ED" (education) visa, with the university supporting the process. This is general information, not immigration advice.

Visa requirements, fees and steps change, so verify the current rules on the official Thai e-Visa and immigration websites and follow the specific guidance KU or KUIC sends with your offer.

No agent or website can guarantee admission, a scholarship or a visa — those decisions rest with the university and the authorities. Verify each step on official sources before making any payment.
