Overview

This is a four-year undergraduate study program leading toward the degree of Bachelors of Business Administration (BBA.) in International Business.

The curriculum has been approved by the Ministry of University Affairs of Thailand. It is designed in response to the rapidly increasing market demands for human resources in this particular field in today’s global business community.
Specifically, it :

  • Provides quality education and training to students, with special emphasis on the international aspects of Business Administration.
  • Increases students’ potential and competitive edge in the job market with all courses in the program conducted in the English language-the language of international business-thus, establishing a vital link with the international business community.
  • Enhances students’ ability to analyze the increasing synergy and trends in networking and globalization of current international business management and the elements which are vital to successful business operations in the international environment.
  • Instills in students perspectives on cultural aspects such as language, religion, customs, traditions, political practice, as well as local and regional business practices which are at issues in managing and administering international business practices. Our diverse international faculty members and student body provide an excellent opportunity in this respect as well as opportunity to interact with local business firms.
  • Provides a sound basis for students to pursue graduate level study in business administration or other related fields.

Curriculum Principles and Justifications

In today's world of more efficient communication, transportation and international trade activity, the skills and information needed to successfully compete in the business world at the international level surpass local and national levels. Today, students wishing to find careers with multi-national corporations must be prepared to understand how business functions around the world.

This curriculum has been prepared to provide students with these kinds of skills and information. This curriculum deals with standard business concepts in accounting, marketing, general management, economics, research, trade laws, culture, tradition and aspects unique to different nations and governments around the world.

Graduates will have a basic working knowledge of international banking and monetary procedures, trade laws, regional agreements, such as ASEAN, and NAFTA and parameters concerning International laws and import-export government controls.

As trade barriers are reduced by international trade organizations such as WTO, increased business opportunities and activities will result which will translate into a greater demand for qualified personnel in this field.
Therefore, under the forward-looking leadership of Siam University, they have met this challenge by establishing an International Program of Business Administration with major in International Business (B.B.A.) Degree.
