Study Abroad in Bangkok, Thailand

The universities in Bangkok are the best in the country and even the region. Many more of the familiar accommodations to Western students are readily available here. The universities also tend to have much to do in and around them.

Popular Subjects to Study. You’ll find a large range of study abroad Bangkok programs, from liberal arts to culinary arts and more. Some of the most popular subjects to study include international business, Chinese, and Asian studies. Many of the programs focus on experiential learning, where you’ll immerse in the culture by living with a host family, and your classroom is the real world, where you’ll go on “field trips” to landmarks and other cities in Thailand.

Short Term & Summer Programs vs. Long Term Programs. How long you decide to stay in Bangkok depends on you and your educational needs, but you’ll find Bangkok study abroad programs that are as short as a spring break, a May term, a summer or as long as a trimester, a fall or spring term, or a full year. If you’re studying a foreign language, it might help to stay for a longer period of time.

Attending University vs.Other Program Types. Some students might choose to directly enroll in Bangkok universities, such as Chulalongkorn, Thammasat, Kasetsart, Mahidol or Silpakorn, or one of its many other higher education institutions. Consult a study abroad advisor at your university to help you decide on whether you should study through your own university, a program provider, or a Bangkok university that will fit your needs.

Unforgettable Vet Adventure in Thailand

Studying veterinary science in Thailand was an unforgettable and eye-opening experience. I gained hands-on skills working with elephants, livestock, and small animals while learning from incredibly dedicated veterinarians and caretakers. Every day brought new challenges, field clinics, lab work, and real-world problem-solving that pushed me to grow both academically and personally. Outside of class, I explored temples, tried amazing food, and connected with locals and fellow students. This experience expanded my perspective, boosted my confidence, and strengthened my passion for global animal health. I highly recommend it to anyone pursuing veterinary medicine!

Studying in Barcelona had been a dream! I took classes in Entrepreneurship and New Venture Creation, and Spanish Art and Cultural Heritage at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. My 7 weeks in that paradise were filled with exploration, inspiration, and so much fun. From amazing people to the delicious cuisine, and stunning architecture to the colorful culture, Spain should be at the top of the must-visit countries list. My favorite activity, besides spending my day at the beach, was wandering around the city without a map and being amazed by the beauty hidden in every corner of Barcelona. Thanks to the Spanish Art and Cultural Heritage class, I learned even more about this impressive history and culture. CIS helped me through every step of adapting to studying and living in Barcelona. They planned fun events for us, such as various tours in famous parts of Barcelona, beach picnic and volleyball, wine tasting, tours to towns in Spain, and cooking classes. I stayed at Aparto Pallars, which is conveniently located near the metro station, from which you can take the metro anywhere. I'm so grateful for this experience, and I'm definitely willing to go back to Barcelona or any other program with CIS!
