Thammasat University, the second oldest university in Thailand, was founded in 1934. It is one of
Thailand’s leading institute for the high quality of its teaching and research, with enrollment of over
16,000 undergraduates and 5,000 graduates each year. The University was originally dedicated to the
teaching of humanities and social sciences. Realisting a marked impact of science and technolo
gy on the country’s development, Thammasat Universities proposed to help the national need by
providing an extensive range of courses in science and technology at its Rangsit Campus, Pathum
Thani. Besides the recula undergraduate course conducted in Thai, the University also offers various
international programmes, which are taught entirely in English, in the field of Engineering, Business
Administration, Economics, and British/American Studies.
Faculty of Engineering, set in the 200-rai campus, was inaugurated in 1989 in response to the severe
shortage of qualified engineers in Thailand. Its mission is to provide strong background in both
engineering education and training to the students. The curricula, thus, place an emphasis on both
theory and practice. Students will have the opportunity to experience the working function of
engineering fields by visiting the industrial organizations relevant to their major discilplines. It is
anticipated that our graduates have strong academic background, extensive practical knowledge, and
high professional morality.
The Twinning Engineering Programmes, was established in 1996 as a joint effort between the Faculty
of Engineering, Thammasat University and the University of Nottingham, England. This programme has
proved to be successful in developing well-trained engineers for Thai and international industries. In a
continuing effort to provide more choice and diversity of engineering education for our students, we
extended our collaboration to the Faculty of Engineering, the University of New South Wales, Australia
in 2006.
The programme has been working closely with its partner institutions to provide a wide range of
opportunities for students to gain higher level qualifications in engineering. After graduation, some
students have chosen to go on to further their studies in higher degrees in the leading universities
around the world. Others receive job offers in leading government agencies, state enterprises, and
private corporations Recruiters seek out TEP engineering graduates not only for their engineering
preparation graduates but also because our students know how communicate effectively.
The prepare students for successful study at the University of Nottingham and the University of New
South Wales, all course in the programme are taught entirely in English. The teaching staff consists
mainly of regular lecturers in the Faculty of Engineering, Thammasat University. The Faculty of
members comprise of exceptionally able group of scholars. Most of them hold doctorates from leading
universities around the world. Lecturers from other leading Thai Universities are also invited to teach
from time to time.

TEPE General Information
Thammasat English Programme of Engineering (TEPE)
The costs that are incurred to take a full time course abroad can be significantly expensive. One
option open to students is to study under TEPE programme. Students will gain the same quality as the
TEP, but the overall costs are much lower. TEPE students take all courses at Thammasat University
where all teaching and learning are done through a mixture of lectures, class discussions,
brainstorming, group work, and presentations. With a small class size, students enjoy the benefits of
exchanging their ideas and opinions with their instructor. This stimulates new ideas and new areas for
discussion. Students occasionally take trips to factories to receive hands-on experience. Moreover, a
training session at an industrial company is required for students to experience the real- world work
environment.
English proficiency has become an asset for anyone aiming to achieve academic or business
recognition at the international level. TEPE has acknowledged this need by placing English language as
one of its priorities in the course structure. Throughout the curriculum, a wide range of English courses
will be offered to elevate students' competence up to the standard level. Students will be trained in all
skills, which are listening, reading, writing, and speaking, so that their abilities can be comparable to
those graduating from universities abroad. During university breaks, English camps are arranged either
in Thailand or abroad as an opportunity for students to sharpen their communicative skills and to apply
what they have learnt in class to real life practice.
Before their graduation from TEPE, students are required to submit an English proficiency test
result (IELTS or TOEFL), which meets the programmes minimum requirement. In this way, all TEPE
students are ensured to be equipped with English skills at the standard level needed for further study
abroad or for a career in an international organization. To qualify for the award of Bachelor of
Engineering degree, candidates must have completed all required courses with the Grade Point
Average of at least 2.0 and TOEFL score of at least 550 or IELTS score of least 6.0. In addition, they must
not owe any fees or other sums to the university.

Grade Point Average and Cumulative Grade Point Average
The student’s Grade Point Average (GPA) is determined by dividing the total number of quality
points earned by the total number of credits attempted for the semester. The number of quality points
is computed by multiplying a GPA point of the grade earned by a number of credits of the course
taken. The total number of credits attempted is computed by adding the credits for all courses, in
which the student has earned grades of A, B+, B, C+, C, D+, D, or F.
The Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) will be used to define the student’s academic
standing. It is determined by dividing the total number of quality points earned thus far by the
corresponding total number of credits attempted.
Probation
Students whose CGPA falls below 2.00, except the first semester of the first year, will receive
Warning 1, Warning 2, or be placed on the academic Probation, and immediately notified on their
grade report according to the conditions shown in Fig.

It impacts on society every day in a myriad of ways - creating new products and services;
helping organizations understand what people want and need; helping people find products
and services that meet their needs; communicating information that makes people's lives
more efficient; creating exchanges that generate employment and wealth. But marketing also
raises ethical issues about excess consumption, unhealthy obsessions and addictions, the
impact we have on the environment and the communities in which we live.
This course is designed to provide students with an overview of these different
aspects of marketing management. Insights are provided into the way in which business,
government and not-for-profit organisations manage their marketing efforts. Topics include:
the concept of marketing in different types of organisation; how to analyse the market and
segment consumers within the market; buyer decision processes, organisational markets and
organisational decision processes; the development of the marketing mix; products, brands
and services; pricing, channels and promotion (personal selling, advertising, sales promotion
and publicity); and marketing strategy within increasingly turbulent and challenging
environments.
