ACADEMIC NOTES
Students are likely to note a marked difference in lecture style and assessment between their home universities and Thammasat. Students should try to be flexible and open-minded as they adapt to the University. The typical course load is 3-6 courses per semester with 9-18 hours spent in class per week. Students are not advised to take courses on both campuses given the distance between the two. Read more about academics at TU in the Student Handbook.
