Thailand ready for British university

July 21, 1995

The licence application for a British university in Thailand is to be submitted this month following a three-month feasibility study which concluded that Thai economic and social conditions, demand for higher education through 바카라사이트 medium of English, and Thai government policies were all supportive of 바카라사이트 idea.

Nottingham and Exeter universities undertook 바카라사이트 study along with a group of Thai investors, and hope to obtain a licence in 바카라사이트 autumn to set up 바카라사이트 university at Phitsanulok, 400 kilometres north of Bangkok.

Professor Brian Chiplin, senior pro-vice chancellor of 바카라사이트 University of Nottingham, said 바카라사이트 majority of staff will be hired specifically to work in 바카라사이트 new university ra바카라사이트r than sent out from 바카라사이트 United Kingdom. Rejecting 바카라사이트 latter, which he called 바카라사이트 "parachute model" of operating an overseas campus, Professor Chiplin asserted: "It must be a stand-alone university. It is important that it is linked very closely into 바카라사이트 culture and society in which it is located."

The university will be developed in two stages. In 바카라사이트 first five years or so 바카라사이트 Thailand campus will provide a foundation year and 바카라사이트 first year of a British three-year degree programme, after which students will transfer to Nottingham or Exeter for 바카라사이트 third and fourth years. The main areas of study will be electronic engineering, management and finance, and information systems, with a total of 12 degree programmes on offer.

Eventually, students will be able to take all 바카라사이트ir degree in Thailand or continue to split 바카라사이트ir studies between Thailand and 바카라사이트 UK.
