"We are fourth year accounting students from the National University of Singapore. As part of our final year field service project, we are required to compare the accounting programme of universities in ASEAN. We selected the BBA International Programme offered by Chulalongkorn Business School, as it is highly recognised, having been accredited by AACSB, EPAS and CPA Australia.
On 23 September 2016, we visited Chulalongkorn Business School to gain a better understanding of their BBA International Programme. Despite the short notice of our visit, we were warmly welcomed by Dr. Kanyarat Sanoran and Ms. Pensri Sangwongwanich. The meeting was efficient and fruitful, as not only did they respond in-depth to all our queries, they also prepared materials relating to the programme beforehand for our reference. Moreover, the BBA International Program offered was very well structured and comprehensive, which provides for easy understanding.
The BBA International Programme is truly the leading English based undergraduate business programme in Thailand. Given the opportunity, we would very much like to participate in an Exchange Programme with Chulalongkorn Business School.

The KPMG ASEAN scholarship not only gives a scholarship from years 2 to 4, but also provides an opportunity for students to intern and work abroad in Singapore, Malaysia, or Indonesia. KPMG is looking for talented individuals with strong English skills and a global mindset. The scholarship selection was a long process consisting of an online application, an online test at their headquarters, a video submission, a case cracking session, an interview, and finally, a presentation to their executives. The selection process roughly spanned over 1 month and narrowed more than 100 applicants to 6 finalists. The 6 KPMG ASEAN scholarship holders include 2 students from Chulalongkorn University, 3 students from Thammasat University, and 1 student from Assumption University.

“I am extremely honored to be one of the two students from Chulalongkorn University who received the scholarship this year and the only one among the six scholarship holders from the finance major. The selection process took great efforts each round, but the rewarding scholarship was worth all the hard work and more. KPMG has offered us a prestigious opportunity to develop professionally with their guidance. KPMG aims to train us to build strong leadership skills through the intern program while we’re in university and when working after graduation. I am immensely grateful for this grand opportunity to receive mentorship and experience working abroad with one of the big 4 accounting firms. Thank you KPMG and everyone who has shown me continual support especially my family.”
Miss Prima Pupornchai (Financial Analysis and Investment major), 2nd year student
Firstly, I would like to express my sincere thanks to KPMG for giving me such valuable opportunity. The steps to this scholarship are competitive and difficult that I even felt discouraged and frustrated sometimes. However, the reward is worth every effort I have put in, and I cannot say how proud and happy I am when I have been chosen by KPMG. I would also like to thank my family who has always been a great support and helped me pass through this selection. It is certainly a very big step into a real business world for me, and I am sure that this path is going to be one of my most irreplaceable learning experiences.”
Miss Yanisa Sorasuchart (Accounting major), 2nd year student
We would like to thank KPMG for this scholarship and this opportunity to become a part of the company. We would encourage next year’s students to apply for the scholarship. Nobody should feel discouraged from trying their best to attain their goals. Dedication is all it takes to achieve what you aspire. Do not be afraid to give yourself a chance.

I have had the opportunity to take part in the wonderful BBA Orientation Trip at The Heritage Pattaya Beach Resort, Chonburi Province on 17-18 June 2016 organized by the BBA office. This trip allowed me to begin my journey in the Chulalongkorn University on a hugely positive note. The BBA faculty and our upperclassmen treated us with exceptional care and provided us with a warm welcoming smile upon boarding our respective buses. After arriving at the Pattaya Heritage Resort, we also engaged in meaningful and productive teambuilding activities, which not only provided us with entertainment, but also allowed us to create and cultivate friendship amongst the BBA family. Apart from these teambuilding and icebreaker activities we were also formally introduced into the BBA program by the Director of the BBA office, who was keen on reinforcing the fact that we should be proud of being a BBA student and that we should enjoy our 4 years in program whilst embellishing in a multitude of activities the program has to offer. Moreover, I can't fail to leave out the fact that we were extremely well fed, as every meal organized for us was delicious, sumptuous and succulent. In addition, our day ended with a carefully thought-out and well-planned induction activity put together by our upperclassmen that stirred curiosity and excitement upon us all. In short, I am very pleased with my worthwhile experience at the BBA orientation trip and I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the BBA staff and BBA upperclassmen for putting in the genuine effort in organizing such a profound trip to start off our year with a heartfelt impression. Thank you for the warm welcome and I am looking forward to the coming activities that await us in the BBA program.
