AFFORDABLE TUITION

Tuition fees at Chulalongkorn University are affordable. Via Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between your home university and Chulalongkorn University, you do not have to pay tuition fees to us. Without an MOU, you can still join as a visiting student and pay only 25% of our tuition fee. Additional program fees may apply.

LOW COST OF LIVING

Bangkok is an excellent choice for students who want to make the most of their money while abroad. Dining out is a very reasonable cost (as little as 1 Euro or 1-2 USD per meal).

Being a part of the JiPP program was the greatest exchange experience. The department is very well organised and welcoming. The staff are very good at being there whenever you need their advice or have any queries about the exchange program, they really do their best to make the transition and exchange period smooth and enjoyable for you. The learning experience at Chula was different to my university at home but it was great to be a part of something new and challenging. The other students are friendly and make you feel welcome, they are also very helpful if you need anything to get settled into the local lifestyle.The JIPP program allowed to meet and interact with student from all over the world, which was not only educational but fun too. The classes offered were unique and interesting, I took classes that I’ve never been offered at my home university, and learned so much from the program and people around me from my exchange year. It was honestly the best experience and a great team behind JIPP program to make sure of this.
