The Thai major was founded in 2014, aiming to cultivate applied and versatile talents with international perspective and knowledge of international rules, which adopts the model of “3+1” international cooperative education. In the first, third and fourth school years, students take basic Thai language courses, public courses and professional module courses in our university, and in the second school year, they go to Thailand to continue the courses about Thai language for a year. At present, we have signed cooperation agreements with Bansomdejchaopraya Rajabhat University and Chiang Mai University in Thailand, as well as an overseas internship agreement with GRAND TOUR AND TRADE CO. LTD.
