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.
