The last decade has witnessed an unprecedented rise in the development of Asian countries across all spectrums. This remains the same even when it comes to education. One country that has been at the forefront of technological and educational advancements in Asia is Thailand. Thailand has been a speaker for sustainable economic development for many years now and this is something which the world needs to acknowledge especially the younger generations. Established in 1985, Rangsit University is a leading private University in Thailand which was set up with the primary aim of creating graduates who have the ability to make the world a better place by focusing on the philosophy of growing together and sustainably.

We also try our best to make our students think differently and see the bigger picture which will make them work for the improvement of the world", says Chico Thipcharoen, Director, International Admission Center.
