The students studying in our partner universities around the world can apply to study at Chulalongkorn Business School for a semester or a year by paying tuition fees to your University. As per our Exchange Program agreement, you will be exempt from paying tuition fees to Chulalongkorn University during the exchange period. This will allow you to take classes here and transfer credits back to your school.

🟡 When to Apply

🟡 Eligibility

To be able to join our Exchange Program, you have to be nominated by your home university. Also, different universities have different rules regarding transfer credits. To avoid any potential problems, we recommend that you obtain approval in writing before joining the Exchange Program

🟡 Application Process

Step 1: Online Nomination by ​Partner University

The exchange coordinator of your home university will receive an email regarding the BBA online nomination from the exchange coordinator of Chulalongkorn Business School around 1 month before the nomination period.  Please feel free to contact us at Thirawut@cbs.chula.ac.th if you have updated contact person who are authorized to submit a nomination. 

The nomination period and deadline will be as follows:

▶️ March 15 - April 15 for incoming Fall Semester

▶️ August 15 - September 15 for incoming Spring Semester

Very important notes:

1. For partners where an exchange agreement is university wide only (no direct agreement with Chulalongkorn Business School), it is a must that you contact our Central University Office of International Affairs (OIA) for the first step of nomination: cuexchange.inbound@chula.ac.th. So, there are 2 nominations for you: the first one for Central OIA and the second one for BBA. Be sure that you contact them by the OIA's deadline and before you submit your nomination through our BBA system as we cannot receive your students directly and your nomination for the BBA might fail. ​​

2. If you have signed agreements at both levels: university and business school, you are suggested to submit your nomination to our BBA system right away. You do not need to contact our central OIA for nomination to avoid any confusion. ​​

3. For partners where the number of students (business students only) we have exchanged is significantly imbalanced at the moment, we might be able to receive 1 student. So, please feel free to contact me directly before you submit a nomination to our BBA system.  

Step 2:​ ​Online ​Application by Students 

​After nomination has been submitted, students will automatically receive instruction for application by email. They are required to fill in an online form.

​The following supporting documents ​are required to upload during:

 ▶️ ​​March 15 - April 15 for incoming Fall Semester

 ▶️ August 15 - September 15 for incoming Spring Semester

1. Professional Photo

2. Passport Copy: Clear copy of your ID info page. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your planned entry date into Thailand (mandatory for visa issuance and flight boarding).

3. Academic Transcript: Should have a minimum GPAX of 2.75 / 4.0.

4. Institutional Documents: Home university approval letter & English proficiency proof (If English is not the medium of instruction).

5. Course Selection: The courses you list in the application portal represent a tentative plan only. Official course enrollment occurs in a month prior to the start of the semester. You may refer to our course archives, tentative course list, and syllabi for reference.

6. Housing Selection: Select your preferred residence (Nonsi, Hampton, or CU iHouse) in the portal by the application deadline.

Notes:

• Admission Package: Digital Letters of Acceptance (for visa application) will be issued within one month after the application deadline.

• Student ID & Registration: You will receive your Student ID and login details one month prior to the start of the semester. You must complete your CR 20 Student Profile immediately upon receiving your login details, or no later than the stated deadline. If you do not complete it, you will be unable to access the system to register for classes.

• Student Visa (Non-Immigrant ED): Apply for a Non-Immigrant ED Visa via the official Thai E-Visa portal (Thai Embassy/Consulate Website) once your acceptance letter arrives. Remember that traveling outside Thailand during your studies requires a Re-Entry Permit to keep your visa active.

🟡 Group Health Fee Notice

Please be advised that while exchange students are exempt from paying tuition fees at Chulalongkorn University, university regulations require all international students to pay a 2,000 THB group health insurance fee. Kindly complete this payment within the first 2 weeks of the semester. Please note that late payments may incur a penalty fee and will prevent students' final exam grades from being released.
