Thammasat University Thammasat University, the second oldest university in Thailand, was founded in 1934. It is one of Thailand’s leading institute for the high quality of its teaching and research, with enrollment of over 16,000 undergraduates and 5,000 graduates each year. The University was originally dedicated to the teaching of humanities and social sciences. Realisting a marked impact of science and technolo gy on the country’s development, Thammasat Universities proposed to help the national need by providing an extensive range of courses in science and technology at its Rangsit Campus, Pathum Thani. Besides the recula undergraduate course conducted in Thai, the University also offers various international programmes, which are taught entirely in English, in the field of Engineering, Business Administration, Economics, and British/American Studies. Faculty of Engineering, set in the 200-rai campus, was inaugurated in 1989 in response to the severe shortage of qualified engineers in Thailand. Its mission is to provide strong background in both engineering education and training to the students. The curricula, thus, place an emphasis on both theory and practice. Students will have the opportunity to experience the working function of engineering fields by visiting the industrial organizations relevant to their major discilplines. It is anticipated that our graduates have strong academic background, extensive practical knowledge, and high professional morality. The Twinning Engineering Programmes, was established in 1996 as a joint effort between the Faculty of Engineering, Thammasat University and the University of Nottingham, England. This programme has proved to be successful in developing well-trained engineers for Thai and international industries. In a continuing effort to provide more choice and diversity of engineering education for our students, we extended our collaboration to the Faculty of Engineering, the University of New South Wales, Australia in 2006. The programme has been working closely with its partner institutions to provide a wide range of opportunities for students to gain higher level qualifications in engineering. After graduation, some students have chosen to go on to further their studies in higher degrees in the leading universities around the world. Others receive job offers in leading government agencies, state enterprises, and private corporations Recruiters seek out TEP engineering graduates not only for their engineering preparation graduates but also because our students know how communicate effectively. The prepare students for successful study at the University of Nottingham and the University of New South Wales, all course in the programme are taught entirely in English. The teaching staff consists mainly of regular lecturers in the Faculty of Engineering, Thammasat University. The Faculty of members comprise of exceptionally able group of scholars. Most of them hold doctorates from leading universities around the world. Lecturers from other leading Thai Universities are also invited to teach from time to time.

KU Leuven KU Leuven is an institution for research and education with international appeal. All programmes at this University are based on the innovative research of its scientists and professors. Its sixteen faculties offer education, while research activities are organised by the departments and research groups. KU Leuven boasts fifteen campuses, spread across 1 1 cities in Flanders, Belgium. It ranks among the best 5 0 universities worldwide. The university will celebrate its 6 0 0 th anniversary in 2 0 2 5 , making it one of Europe’s oldest universities. In 2019, Times Higher Education (THE) has published its annual World University Rankings. KU Leuven rises three places and is now ranked 4 5 th. The University thus consolidates its position in the top 5 0 of universities worldwide. KU Leuven is the only Belgian university in this year’s top 100. It also precedes all universities in the Netherlands and ranks seventh among all universities on the European continent. Studying at CAMPUS GROUP T, Faculty of Engineering Technology KU Leuven Campus Group T is the only campus in Belgium that offers full English-language academic bachelor’s and master’s programmes in engineering technology. Campus Group T is home to a truly international community of outstanding engineering students. An engineering degree from KU Leuven opens doors to the whole of Europe, where you can continue your studies or begin a challenging career. At Campus Group T you gain engineering expertise and learn and experience how to be creative in your thinking and in your endeavours. You develop distinct enterprising skills and insight into the systems that influence nature, culture and society. ‘Beyond Engineering’: it is the art of no longer seeing things as separate, but rather as a part of a whole system where everything is connected. Just as in the real world. WHY BELGIUM? As a student you will discover a country full of surprising contrasts. Belgium is a place rich in art, history, and architecture. You are treated to its local specialties in a friendly atmosphere. The country has much to offer to students: a cosmopolitan lifestyle, great sport facilities, libraries, bookshops, restaurants, cafes, and a dynamic cultural scene. It is also an ideal base for exploring the rest of Europe. London, Paris, Cologne, and Amsterdam are all a proverbial stone’s throw away from Belgium, and can easily be reached by train and (budget) air travel. Belgium is the headquarters of many international organisations and companies and the beating heart of the European Union. Belgium has three official languages – Dutch, French, and German – but English is rapidly becoming the business lingua franca. In daily life, as well, you’ll find nearly everyone is able to communicate in English. With a standard of living amongst the highest in the world, Belgians benefit from universal health-care, social security coverage, and an excellent education system. As an inter- national guest, you might find Belgians initially reserved – an impression that will only last until your first visit to a Belgian home, where you will be warmly welcomed and well fed.

Programmes of study: Students will spend 2 years at Thammasat University and proceed to study at Campus Group T, KU Leuven for 2 more years. After completing all the degree requirements, they will be conferred a Bachelor of Engineering degree (BEng: Mechanical) from Thammasat University and an Academic Bachelor of Engineering degree (BSc: Electromechanical Engineering) from KU Leuven. For Thammasat-KU Leuven option, the programme in Electromechanical Engineering is offered to Thammasat students who are following the major in Mechanical Engineering. Accreditation The degree obtained after the completion of the programme at Campus Group T, KU Leuven is accredited by the Belgium Ministry of Education. KU Leuven’s degrees are officially accredited by Thailand’s Office of Civil Service Commission (OCSC).
