General information

Thai language course is mandatory for all KUSEP students. The courses in the KUSEP program are part of the university’s official degree curricula. As an Asia Exchange student, you will be attending courses together with local and international students pursuing a full degree at Kasetsart University. Some courses are meant especially for exchange students.

For some Economics and Engineering courses, you must prove your knowledge of the topic to participate in the course. This is typically done at the beginning of the semester, on-site in Bangkok.

The semesters start with an orientation, after which you will attend classes usually on 3-4 days a week. The university requires students to take at least 3 courses during a semester. All the courses have an attendance requirement of at least 80 %. Students failing to comply with this requirement risk having their student visas canceled by the university. Some of the courses also include business and cultural visits. The visits are equally obligatory as normal classes.

Lecturers teach the courses with international experience and typically degrees completed abroad.

Course syllabi

Use the syllabi and course descriptions when presenting your study plan to your home institution. This will help them to decide how to transfer credits and grant scholarships. Detailed syllabi will be circulated on the lectures.

The third last digit of the longer course codes in the course catalogs refers to the level of the course, i.e., 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th year. For example, course 01205305, ‘Digital Circuits and Microcontrollers’, is a third-year course.

The syllabi are exemplary and available for most courses. The remaining syllabi are handed out at the latest at the beginning of lectures.

Course selection

You will select your final courses when in Bangkok and present them to the university. This means you don’t have to make your final decision when applying. Please note that courses from different faculties may be organized at the same time.

As in all universities worldwide, changes in course offerings and course dates are possible without prior notice.

More information about course choices will be available at the destination at the beginning of the semester.

eCampus

In addition to the courses mentioned above, you have the chance to attend additional distance learning courses in the fields of Economics, Marketing, Sociology, and Politics. All the courses are taught from a distance and can be joined independently from place and time. This gives you the ultimate flexibility to combine your study abroad experience with various academic courses.

All information about the eCampus can be found here.

You have the chance to opt for distance learning courses during your application process. Please note that each distance learning course is worth 5 ECTS and comes at an additional charge of 149€ / 167USD.

After completing your eCampus courses, you will receive an academic transcript issued by Undiknas University. Additionally, you will receive a participation certificate for each completed distance learning course.

CO2 OFFSETTING

Unfortunately, traveling by plane to study abroad increases the carbon footprint of each student. Over the past years, it has become more apparent than ever: we face a climate crisis and air transport is responsible for up to 10% of humankind’s contribution to global warming. But should students stop pursuing their dreams of studying abroad and sacrifice their future goals? We don’t think so!

We see it as our responsibility to preserve our environment, live a sustainable life, and minimize the carbon footprint of each of our students. Consequently, Asia Exchange has chosen to work with Atmosfair, a non-profit organization that actively contributes to CO₂ mitigation and offers Co2 offsetting. You can now easily donate a free amount of money to Atmosfair’s projects dedicated to offsetting Co2 emissions. During the application process for your study abroad program, you have the opportunity to donate and mitigate your flight emissions.

Simultaneously, Asia Exchange will support your efforts to reduce their carbon footprint when studying abroad by doubling your donations and contributing equally. Let’s make this world a better place!
