Most international programmes

Programmes the ministry labels as international (หลักสูตรนานาชาติ), usually taught in English. Some universities — Mae Fah Luang is the best known — teach largely in English without using the label, so their count here understates it.

Open-admission universities

These admit without a competitive entrance process and teach many students part-time or at a distance — Ramkhamhaeng alone has 336,761 students — so they aren't comparable with the tables above.

What Thailand's open data doesn't cover

Fees, entry scores and graduate employment per institution. Tuition is set by each university, and admission runs through the separate TCAS system, so neither is in the ministry's open data — and we don't estimate them.

Want fees for Thai universities?

Thailand doesn't publish tuition per university as open data. We'll email you if that changes.
