The British and American Studies (BAS) International Programme at Thammasat University is the only degree of its type available in Thailand.  The four-year degree offers students a unique opportunity to explore the culture, the literature, the history, and the political dynamics of the United State and the United Kingdom through a broad and varied curriculum taught by English native speakers from both the USA and the UK.

The twentieth century is rightfully considered the American Century but Britain was the first great industrial nation by 1900 possessed the greatest empire in history. For these reasons, Britain and American have dominated global affairs for the past 200 years. While modern democracies and economic liberalism in the developed and developing worlds are clear evidence of this dominance, any consideration of legacy and influence can only be truly acknowledged by a full appreciation of the global impact of British and American literature, art, cinema, and popular music. It is these cultural aspects that assist in offering students a more rounded and multifaceted definition of the transformative and turbulent events that accelerated Britain’s decline and prompted the subsequent ascendency of the United States to the most powerful nation on earth.

For example courses provided by BAS;

• British and American Thought
• Modern and Contemporary British & American Arts
• British Foreign Policy
• The United States and the Asia-Pacific
• Popular Culture in Britain & the United States
• Globalization

The Business English International Program (BEC) was introduced in 2007 to combine English Language Communication skills with the provision of fundamental knowledge of business transactions, economics, public relations, intercultural communication, international law, human resource management, and information technology in order to equip students for careers in the global yet diverse business community. This program is not only a significant part of the liberal education which the Faculty of Liberal Arts has long established but also a challenge for people of the new generation who want to be successful in the dynamic world of business transactions and corporate communication.

Objectives

The Business English International Program is a four-year undergraduate program with a specific emphasis on the English communication skills essential for business transactions. Courses are designed to develop multilingual skills, which include listening, speaking, reading and writing English within business contexts. In addition, courses will provide the opportunity for students to acquire the skills necessary for business meetings, business presentations, negotiations, financial planning, business law, and translation. The end result should be that students are equipped with the qualifications essential to be successful in a highly competitive business environment, whether here in Thailand or abroad.

Preparatory Courses

Preparatory courses will be held within an induction program that all students are required to attend. During this induction period, students will be introduced to English study skills. Additionally, students will choose a second foreign language, such as Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc. which will give them an opportunity to take credited courses in that language as their elective later in the degree.

For example courses provided by BEC;

• Business Law
• Business Presentations
• Business English Listening and Speaking
