Thammasat University International Programs Admission Guide

Thammasat's international undergraduate programs

Thammasat University has campuses at Tha Prachan in central Bangkok and Rangsit in Pathum Thani (plus Lampang and Pattaya). It offers a wide set of English-taught international undergraduate programs across business, economics, political science and international relations, engineering and more.

Well-known examples include the BBA International Program (Thammasat Business School), the Bachelor of Economics (BE) international program (Faculty of Economics), the international relations/political science track (often referred to as BIR, in the Faculty of Political Science), and the Faculty of Engineering's English-taught programs — the Twinning Engineering Programme (TEP) and the Thammasat English Programme of Engineering (TEPE). The Sirindhorn International Institute of Technology (SIIT) is a separate English-taught engineering institute within Thammasat.

The catalogue changes, so confirm the current list on the official site before choosing.

Where each program is based and how it's taught

International programs sit in different faculties and can be based on different campuses; teaching is in English throughout.

Among the engineering options, TEP is a twinning or "sandwich" structure with part of the degree completed in Thailand and part at a partner university abroad, while TEPE is a four-year English-taught engineering degree at Thammasat.

Because structures and partner universities can change, confirm the current arrangement, campus and duration on the specific program page.

Admission windows and how the international route works

Each international program runs its own admission, usually with one or more application rounds per year. Foreign applicants generally apply directly to the program rather than through a central Thai system.

Windows, quotas and any program-specific tests differ by program and change each cycle.

Use the individual program page and the Office of International Affairs for the calendar, and verify any date or quota before you apply.

Entry requirements and English evidence

Applicants generally need secondary schooling equivalent to Thai Grade 12. Applicants whose first language or medium of instruction is not English usually submit an accepted English test such as IELTS Academic or TOEFL iBT.

Some programs also require a standardized test (for example the SAT) and/or their own entrance examination and interview.

Minimum scores and accepted tests vary by program, so confirm the current requirement on the official program page before registering for any test.

Documents and how to apply

Prepare against the official checklist for your program; the usual documents and flow are below.

• Passport and secondary transcripts/graduation certificate
• Accepted English test score (e.g., IELTS Academic or TOEFL iBT)
• Standardized test (e.g., SAT) where the program requires it
• Application form and application fee
• Personal statement and recommendation letters
• Any program entrance exam or interview
• Steps: choose the program → check its round → prepare documents/tests → apply online → sit any required exam/interview → receive the decision → accept the offer and arrange the Thai student visa (see the visa note below)

Fees, scholarships and staying safe

Tuition and scholarships vary by program and year. Confirm current figures only on tu.ac.th and the specific program site.

Verify on the official website before relying on any fee or deadline, and don't trust third-party numbers.

International students need a Thai student visa. Thailand issues the Non-Immigrant "ED" visa and, for students studying at bachelor's-degree level or above, the Non-Immigrant "ED Plus" visa; TEP students who spend part of the degree at a partner university abroad will also need that country's own student visa. This is general information, not immigration advice — verify the current requirements on the official Thai e-Visa system and with the relevant embassy before you apply.

Treat any agent's "guaranteed admission" claim as a scam — no one can guarantee a place at Thammasat.
