Academic Calendar
The course schedule at the Institute of International Studies follows
the Academic Calendar of Ramkhamhaeng University.
If you wish, you can take the Summer Term as a third semester per
year and register for the courses offered. This way, you graduate in as
little as 3 years in a Bachelor program.
International Students can apply and start all year round. Students
from Thailand begin with each new semester.

Study Hours &
Modular Course System
Each course is usually (deviations possible due to the availability of
the lecturers) two days a week (Monday and Wednesday or Tuesday
and Thursday) from 9am to 4 pm. Each 3-credit course covers 48
credit hours, meaning that one 3-credit course is 8 class days.
Undergraduate students study two 3-credit courses per month, while
graduate students study one course on Saturday and Sunday.
This modular system avoids a bulk of mid-term and end-term final
examinations and enables our professors much better to connect the
content of previous courses to their own topic.
And, by the way, you have much less time to forget important things
until the final examination comes.
