Entrance Examination
Although Ramkhamhaeng University is an open-admission university, the International Program has to
maintain an entrance examination in order to ensure a competitive level of quality among its students.
For the different grade levels, there are different entrance examinations as explained below. In general,
our entrance examination focuses on skills and knowledge that are absolutely necessary to join our programs
with a good chance to succeed and to develop your skills to the fullest.
In case of all English programs, this means mainly a minimum entrance level in reading and writing
English language. This is necessary to follow the textbooks and handouts, especially in the early semester.
Listening skills you will easily and quickly develop in the classes, and communication skills, you will
easily and quickly develop in working with our foreign student who all use only English as a common
means of communication.
In case of all Chinese programs, we pay attention to different learning systems and structures within
Chinese programs at Thai schools and in the national education systems in China and Taiwan. Applicants
for the Chinese program don’t do a written exam but an interview in order to ensure that a necessary
language level enables non-native speakers to communicate and cooperate with native speakers of
Mandarin.
On Master and Ph.D. level, the expectations to do scientific work are higher than on undergraduate
level. Here, the entrance examination consists of the English Test and an interview.
