Curriculum 2023

B.E. Curriculum 2023

Overview & ELOs

The B.E. curriculum 2023 is the most up-to-date conferral degree in bachelor of economics, designed to integrate diverse economic concepts and equip students with important skills needed in the twenty-first century. The curriculum’s core value is to strike a balance between academic rigor and practical application. In terms of academic rigor, students are provided with a strong discipline of scientifically analytical processes in economics, resulting in the development of logical and critical thinking mindsets. In terms of practical application, students in the program can study a variety of applied economics concepts while also minoring in a business-related field such as finance or marketing.

The course plans are created in accordance with the program’s expected outcomes. During their first year, students typically take general education courses required by the university, as well as some foundational concepts in economics and quantitative tools used for upper-level study. Then, students begin taking more major subject courses in their second year. Most registered courses are intermediate-level subjects that serve as a solid foundation for upper-year economics subfield courses.

Having entered their third year, students can delve deeper into the real-world applications of economic principles by choosing from a wide range of topics or issues covered in several economics subfield courses.

We offer nine subfields in economics at the B.E. international program. Each subfield area in economics is not only linked to various career options that students may pursue after graduation, but also provide conceptual framework, tools and knowledge needed for a completion of a required capstone project in their final year. The capstone project is a one-semester (a seminar subfield course) or one-year (the honor thesis) project in which students must conduct independent research on a topic to gain a thorough understanding of it. The project can be an individual or collaborative work at the discretion of the class supervisor, but it must reflect a decent quality of research project. Under each type of capstone class (seminar subfield course or honor thesis), the project investigator will assist students in developing high-level thinking skills for use in research, guiding students until the project is completed.

At the B.E. international program, students have not only been provided with rigorous economic knowledge, but the 2023 curriculum also intends to prepare students for a variety of career options. In addition to their economics major courses and selected subfield economics courses, students may enroll in a variety of non-economics courses. Enrollment credit for these courses may be counted toward a minor field of study degree. The B.E. International Program offers three minor fields of study: finance, marketing, and free-cluster. All minor courses are taught by Thammasat business school professors and industry practitioners with certified charter.
