Chulalongkorn University was ranked 166th in the world in 2008. Their Faculty of Commerce and Accountancy runs a very successful BBA International Programme which is taught in English. For the past few years LUMS has been discussing co-operating with the Faculty and the first steps have now been agreed.

LUMS identified interest among undergraduate students in exchange programmes in Thailand, and LUMS and Chulalongkorn University have now agreed to exchange two students per academic year. The students have an opportunity to spend one term or the whole academic year at Chulalongkorn University.

Dr Radka Obrtelova who is planning to visit Chulalongkorn University in March 2009 said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for our students to experience a unique Asian culture at a top Thai institution. Our students are becoming more adventurous every year. We have seen demand from undergraduate students to expand exchanges opportunities in Asia and we hope that this will be the first step to a wider partnership with Chulalongkorn University.”
