non-Degree Program

For the course schedule of each semester, please visit Semester Abroad.

All undergraduate 3 credit courses, you can study non-degree as well. That means, you don’t need to enroll for a complete Bachelor program. Instead, you study the courses of your choice only. You can transfer the credits earned to any university of your choice (usually within 5 years).

On these pages, you get an overview of all courses offered non-degree.

Please note that each course is offered usually once a year: You will join the regular course with our international students and international professors.

Students who left school before the high-school diploma, however, can study the full program for a degree while learning for their high-school diploma. This way, they don’t loose time: They transfer their non-degree credits to the degree program as soon as they hold their high-school diploma in hands.

At present time, non-degree is offered only in Bangkok. Admission requirement is the equivalent to an U.S. Junior High School Diploma (grade 9) or Mathayom 3 at a Thai school. Please see the Application Process.
