Admissions

Applying to Sasin
Sasin welcomes applications from graduates in all fields who are interested in management study. Individuals holding a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent from a Thai university or an international institution of recognized standing are eligible for consideration.

Prior study in business or economics is not a requirement for admission with many Sasin students coming from backgrounds in engineering, science, technology, social sciences, and the humanities. Although course work in calculus is not required, a solid foundation in quantitative skills is expected.

Admission Process
The Sasin MBA application is a two-stage process.

First Stage  
The first stage is a one page application form that can be filled out and submitted online here or downloaded here (the downloaded application may be returned by email, fax, or mail). There are no fees for a first stage application and no supporting documents are required.

Second Stage
Potentially qualified applicants will be invited to submit a second stage application which will be emailed or mailed to them. Second stage applications must be accompanied by an application fee of Baht 1,200 and will not be processed until an applicant’s full supporting documents have been received.

TOEFL Test    
The TOEFL Test is offered year round at many international locations, either as a paper exam or online. (see www.toefl.org)

In Bangkok, the TOEFL is offered at the Institute of International Education (IIE), Maneeya Center, 6th Floor, 518/3 Ploenchit Road, Pathumwan, Bangkok 10330, telephone 0-2652-0653 or email  iiethai@bkk.iie.org.     

TOEFL charges a testing fee of US$140 or US$160, depending on the location and date of the test.

Evaluation Process
Sasin looks for students with outstanding potential for leadership as well as the intellectual and interpersonal skills needed to make a meaningful contribution to the academic and extra-curricular life of Sasin.  The aim of the Institute is to form a dynamic and diverse student body representing many countries, personalities, backgrounds, and career aspirations.

In the selection process, the Admissions Committee evaluates the applicant’s scholastic ability for graduate study, qualities of character, motivation, evidence of leadership, and management promise.  The Admissions Committee reviews the personal essays, academic record, GMAT and TOEFL (if applicable), and letters of recommendation to assess each applicant’s candidacy compared to the overall pool of applicants.

The Admissions Committee highly values full-time professional experience since work experience adds  to the applicant’s maturity and career-and-self-awareness which significantly contributes to the student’s success. The Committee attempts to evaluate an applicant’s potential for a management career through a careful review of experience and accomplishments in full-and-part time work settings and in extracurricular activities.

Interviews
Interviews are required for admission to the MBA Program.  Interviews are normally conducted with the Sasin Admissions Committee (made up of Sasin faculty, administrators and Sasin alumni) and/or a representative of the Kellogg Graduate School of Management.  The interviews are used to provide additional insight into the applicant’s ability and desire to complete the MBA program.  Interviews also provide an opportunity for applicants to discuss the Sasin MBA program and raise questions of concern to them.

Interviews, whether on campus or elsewhere, will be arranged and conducted only after the application and all supporting documents have been submitted to the Admissions Office.
