Bangkok or Krung Thep Maha Nakhon is the capital of Thailand and famous for its many canals. Furthermore, it is the political, university, touristic and economic hotspot.
The size of a city can make a big difference on your study experience. Some students prefer the feel and pace of larger busy cities, while some may prefer a smaller and calmer feel. Whatever your preference, U-Multirank has you covered. Bangkok averages a population of about 8200000 residents and covers some 1565 km2.
U-Multirank includes 11 colleges and universities in or near the Bangkok area. To explore some of the colleges and universities in Bangkok, click on the university names below, or visit our Study in Thailand page.
One of the first questions students wonder when deciding to study abroad, is ‘do I need to speak the local language to study there?’ Every country and sometimes even universities themselves have their own requirements for the language of instruction. Students should contact the university to see if a language certificate is necessary to study there. Some countries offer inernational courses and study programmes in English as well, but you will most likely need to show proof of English proficiency. To receive an English language certificate like the IELTS (International English Language Testing System) and TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language), four parts of the language are tested, including: reading, listening, speaking and writing.

Safety is an important point to consider when studying abroad. According to the current Numbeo Safety Index, Bangkok has a score of 58.61 – ranking it at number 192 of 427 cities globally for safety.
The cost of living can play a major factor in deciding where to study. Aside from tuition fees, students should consider the local cost of living – including items like housing, food, and social life. According to the current Numbeo Cost of Living Index, Bangkok has a score of 52.04 – ranking it at number 344 of 567 cities globally for the cost of living (the higher the ranking, the more expensive the cost of living is).
