MBA in Thailand

Hi all,
I would like to learn more about MBA programs in Thailand. Does anybody know which program is the best or the one with the best reputation. I am from Switzerland and would like to study in Thailand, however, it is important for me that the MBA i do is also of value in Europe.

It would be great if there's someone who could give me information. Thank you.

Regards,
Jan

Hi Jan,

a Quick search of the find MBA program directory gives a list of 16 MBA programs(www.find-mba.com/search)

i don't know what the best program is, but i didn't see any program for Thailand listed in the rankings. this is a bit of bad news for you, as you are looking for a program that will also be known in Europe, and non ranked programs are usually only known on a regional level.

in such a case, you should look into the accreditation of the school and look for programs that have partnerships with known schools.

Thanks for your info Boris.

After searching a bit I believe that the Assumtion University (ABAC) MBA (Fast track??) and the SASIN-program from the Chulalongkorn University could be interesting.

Does anybody know which one is the better? Does anybody know how well these programs are recognized?

Thanks.

The ABAC MBA is relatively new and is not that well known outside of thailand therefore, it won't meet your need of europe recognition, The top most MBA programs in Thailand is provided by the following universities:

1. Asian Institute of Technology
2. SASIN MBA program
3. National Institute of Development Administration (NIDA)

If you are looking for a well recognized program in thailand then nothing can beat these programs. How much they are known in europe depends on each countries. But they are good in the South-east region.

Hi,
what about these two:
- Stamford International College
- Asian University

How are these compared to the 3 mentioned above?

hi johanseim

If you are looking for the best program in Thailand then go for the three i have mentioned to you... They do not require high GMAT score... anything around 550 would do you good!... with 2 years work exp.

Asian University and Stamford are not popular in Thailand.. so you understand that outside of thailand would be lesser scope...just in case you are wondering how i much about these programs.. is because i am located in Thailand for the moment..and have studied at ABAC not the MBA.. but the BBA

One of the ways to asses how good a program is, and how well recognized out of Thailand is the accreditation of the program. when i try checking the three above mentioned programs, i had trouble finding information regarding the accreditation. i did see(and it took quite a while to find) that IAT is accredited by AACSB and EFMD, which is a good start, but another good accreditation would help(like AMBA). i didn't find any other information about the other programs, which always makes me suspicious(if they had good ones, they will write it all over the place). all the programs seem to have good partner schools, which is good, but still doesn't cancel the need for good accreditation. these days, where lots of new MBA programs are popping out of the ground, it is very difficult for recruiters to know them all, which makes them even more dependent on accreditation and rankings.
