Combined
bilingual program
Bachelor and Master’s of Economics
|
| Chiang Mai
University’s Faculty of Economics launched its combined program
for the bachelor’s and master’s degrees in economics, taught
bilingually (English and Thai), in the first semester of 2006.
The program admits students to both the bachelor’s and master’s
degree programs. It is designed for continuity in students’
learning and efficiency in conducting research in the process
of developing students’ expertise and the creation of new knowledge.
The estimated time required to fulfill all degree requirements
for both the bachelor’s and master’s degrees in economics is
five years. The combined program was initiated in response to
the university’s policy of producing high quality graduates
at the bachelor’s and master’s degree levels in a timely manner,
using a time-intensive approach. Classes are conducted bilingually,
using English as the medium of instruction for all economics
courses and the Thai language for all other courses. This is
to build English language skills of the graduates and to prepare
them to be operational in an international environment as required
by the market and/or society. |
| |
|
| Requirements
for admission |
Candidates to be admitted
to the combined degree program must satisfy the following conditions:
1. Have finished secondary school
(grade 12) or the equivalent
2.
Meet the requirements in accordance with Chiang Mai University’s
regulations for undergraduate education B.E 2546 and the requirements
of the combined degree program
|
| |
|
| Curriculum
and duration of the study |
The curriculum
and requirements for the undergraduate degree in economics are
the same as those of the regular bachelor of economics degree
program. This consists of at least 144 credit hours.
For the master’s of economics degree, there are two plans, i.e.
the thesis option and the independent study option. Both are
conducted on a module type of instruction.
Plan 1: thesis
Plan 2: independent studies
All
degree requirements can be fulfilled within a 5-year duration.
The classes are conducted bilingually, meaning that English
is the medium of instruction for all economics courses (marked
by a course number in the 751… sequence) and Thai is the medium
of instruction for all other non economic courses taught outside
the faculty of economics. Students have the option of writing
their thesis or independent study report in either language.
