Chulalongkorn University is Thailand’s oldest and most prestigious public university, established in 1917. It occupies a large campus in Pathum Wan, within walking distance of Siam BTS and Sam Yan MRT.
Strong departments include medicine, engineering, law, business, architecture, and political science. The university runs several English-medium international programs at undergraduate and postgraduate level — check the specific faculty for language requirements before applying.
Competition for Thai-language degree programs is high, and entrance requires Thai secondary qualifications or equivalent. International students typically apply through English-medium programs or postgraduate pathways.
The campus has its own green space, sports facilities, and a large university hospital. The surrounding Siam–Pathum Wan area has strong transit links, malls, food options, and affordable housing in the nearby streets.
Before applying, confirm current tuition, visa support, and English-medium program availability directly with the faculty.
