[Thailand] MBA Scholarships for international students

MBA Scholarships for international students

Asian University offers graduate scholarships to qualified full-time MBA students. Two scholarships per country are available for students.

In the past, Asian students have gone overseas in order to study and gain experience at western Universities. However, now with the spread of globalisation and the observation that Asia holds many of the world's fastest growing economies, students from Western and other countries are increasingly coming to Asia for valuable experience.

We offer an International standard MBA programme with an Asian Experience that is designed to give students an understanding of Asian cultures, including their values and business practices. This is offered to successful scholarship candidates at one half the normal tuition fee or for a total cost of less than Euro 10,000 for the 18 month programme.

Students successfully completing the MBA programme should expect to have much of the basic understanding and many of the skills necessary for a competitive advantage (compared with those studying MBAs in their home countries) in future contacts with the peoples of Asia.

[The normal tuition fee is 450,000 Thai Baht to which 150,000 Thai Baht should be added for basic living costs. Therefore, the programme costs 600,000 Thai Baht or 375,000 Thai Baht for holders of the scholarships. Note that in early 2005, there are approximately 50 Thai Baht to the Euro (and 40 Baht to the US$). Thus, the cost to scholarship holders is significantly less than Euro 10,000.]

Scholarship Requirements

* Sound undergraduate study performance (GPA>3.25 or equivalent) from a reputable institution
* Acceptable English language skills (TOEFL 550, IELTS 6.0 or above)
* Solid commitment to and motivation for post-graduate study
* Work experience is also considered in the selection process.

Scholarships are reviewed each semester. The maximum duration of each MBA scholarship is the four semesters of the programme. To remain eligible, scholarship students must each maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher.
