Some 12th-grade students may have been up several nights awaiting the announcement of the Thai University Central Admission System late last month. My ex-colleague's daughter was one of those who were eventually admitted to Srinakharinwirot University. Others who were rejected still had a chance to win in the university's direct admission process, which will be announced later this month.
According to a report by the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation and the Council of University Presidents of Thailand, Thammasat University's Allied Health Science, Burapha University's Nursing, Silpakorn University's Arts, Naresuan University's Nursing, Mahidol University's Science, Thammasat University's Law and Pharmacy, and Srisavarindhira Thai Red Crescent University's Nursing were among the top 10 most popular faculties, ranking first and second in admissions last year.
In recent years, Thai institutions have worked hard to improve their rankings in the QS World University Rankings for 2022, conducted by UK-based education and career consultancy Quacquarelli Symonds (QS).
