If you are preparing to study in the UK for January Intake 2021 or September 2021, we have an option for you.
We know that students are unable to fly outside of Thailand at the moment which means that your study plans may have changed. We are therefore offering students the opportunity to take a pre-sessional course in Thailand which has been designed by a UK academic team and provides the same standard of teaching, assessment and certification.
If you apply for this pre-sessional course you will obtain a certificate from Kaplan International which is accepted by a number of universities, and you will be ready to start your degree, this year or next year.
