The program, designed, developed, and conducted by qualified staff, is intended both for beginner and for those whose Thai is already at a more advanced level but who wish to attain a higher degree of proficiency so as to be able to perform academic or professional activities with greater ease and efficiency and to make the most of their stay in Thailand socially. The program aims to provide participants with a basic grounding in the Thai language and help them develop and use with confidence the skills of speaking, listening, reading, and writing Thai. Emphasis is placed on encouraging clear, accurate, and effective communication skills.
COURSE STRUCTURE AND CONTENT : The program consists of three basic, three intermediate, and three advanced courses, each lasting 5 weeks.
CLASSES : Classes are conducted between the hours of 10.00 a.m. and 3.00 p.m. Mondays to Fridays (except public holidays)
EXAMINATIONS AND AWARDS : Participants are required to maintain a minimum of 80% attendance and to pass an examination held at the end of each course, before being granted admission to a higher course. The Faculty of Arts issues certificates to participants who satisfactorily complete their levels.
FEES : The instruction fee for each course is 25,000.- baht. (subject to change) Fees are to be paid in full prior to the issue of a Certificate of Admission.
HEALTH INSURANCE : All participants are strongly recommended to obtain health insurance to cover the cost of hospital and dental treatment during their stay in Thailand.
VISA : In preparation for participation in our program, it will be necessary for participants to acquire a Thai visa to cover the time they expect to be in Thailand. This is of primary importance as Chulalongkorn University is unable to assist in the process of obtaining the visa required while residing in Thailand. However Chulalongkorn University can provide a letter of admission for presentation to immigration authorities.
ACCOMMODATION : Participants should stay in privately owned accommodation which is available for rent throughout Bangkok Since all participants must make their own housing arrangements as it is not always easy to find appropriate accommodation immediately, participants should arrange to come to Bangkok some time before commencing of their studies.
