Frequently Asked Questions about Higher Education in Thailand
What is a Dual Degree Program?
A Dual Degree Program allows students to pursue two different degrees simultaneously in distinct fields of study. This educational path provides a comprehensive learning experience, broadening academic and career opportunities by enabling students to specialize in two areas.
What is the difference between 'Undergraduate' and 'Graduate' degrees?
Undergraduate degrees, typically including associate's and bachelor's degrees, are pursued after completing high school and form the foundation of higher education. Graduate degrees, encompassing master’s and doctoral degrees, require a completed bachelor’s degree for admission and involve more advanced, specialized study in a particular field.
Are there age limitations to attending University?
Generally, universities do not impose strict age restrictions for admissions. Most students enter undergraduate programs after completing high school, typically starting around 18 to 20 years of age. However, prodigious students as young as 16 may be admitted in some exceptional cases. Additionally, many older adults and non-traditional students also enroll in university courses. Admissions are primarily based on academic qualifications, not age.

What is a credit system in education?
A credit system is a standardized way of measuring and quantifying a student's academic progress in the educational context. Each course taken at a school or university is assigned a specific number of credits, which generally reflect the amount of time spent on the course, including both in-class and out-of-class work. To graduate, students must accumulate a required number of credits, demonstrating they have completed the necessary coursework. The credit system allows for flexibility in a student's academic journey, as they can choose from various courses to fulfill their credit requirements while also exploring different subjects of interest. This system also facilitates the transfer of credits between different educational institutions, helping to ensure that previous academic work is recognized.
When should all application documents be submitted to the university?
The deadline for submitting application documents varies by university. Generally, students are required to submit all necessary paperwork between 6 and 2 months prior to the commencement of the semester.
