MU Degree Profile

Admission

The Kanchanaburi Campus of Mahidol University offers 7 undergraduate programs in Accounting, Business Administration, Agricultural Science, Conservation Biology, Food Technology, Geoscience and Environmental Engineering and Disaster Management. Admission system of the students is operated according to the policy of Thai University Central Admission System (TCAS), which was launched four years ago and set by Council of University Presidents of Thailand. The system of 2023 academic year consisted of four rounds of admission. The first round required students to submit their “portfolio” to be considered by universities. The second round was dubbed “quota round”, where each university allotted placements to students in specific regions or with special talents. These first two rounds involved no written exam but may require an interview under criteria set by the program committee. The third round involved a central examination with each student choosing four possible subjects without ranking their preferred order. The fourth round consisted of another central exam score consideration while each student can choose and rechoose another four subjects, which was ordered by their preferences.
