Executive MBA

For experienced leaders with at least 7 years of work experience.

Sasin welcomes applications from graduates in all fields who are interested in management study. You are eligible to apply if you have:
  • a Bachelor’s degree or its equivalent from a Thai university or an international institution of recognized standing,
  • at least 7 years of management/ professional experience; this is normally measured from when you obtained your first degree (or at least 5 years experience if you have a Master’s degree, or at least 3 years experience if you have a Ph.D. or equivalent).
  • an English language proficiency score (TOEFL, IELTS, or CU-TEP) for non-native English speakers.
Prior study in business is not required!  Most Sasin students come from non-business degree backgrounds. Our students include graduates from all fields: engineering, science, technology, social sciences, the humanities, etc. The GMAT test is not required for admission, but Executive MBA participants will need a certain level of quantitative skills. Assessment of international degrees is based on the characteristics of the national system of education, the type of institution attended, and the level of studies completed.  

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. We aim to form a dynamic and diverse student body, representing many countries, cultures, personalities, backgrounds, and career aspirations. Sasin looks for applicants who demonstrate:
  • leadership potential,
  • the intellectual and interpersonal skills to make meaningful contributions in the classroom and beyond,
  • diversity, dynamism, and creativity;
  • commitment and a “can-do” attitude.
To complete your application, you’ll need a variety of documentation. But assuming you have already received an undergraduate degree, we urge you to start the application process and be assigned an Admissions Advisor. He or she will help you through the process. We will evaluate your:
  • scholastic ability for graduate study,
  • your transcripts from your previous educational endeavors,
  • qualities of character and motivation, and evidence of leadership,
  • your societal concern and involvement,
  • your career plans
  • why you chose Sasin,
  • your letter of recommendation,
  • and where appropriate, English Proficiency Test (TOEFL, IELTS, or CU-TEP) scores,
  • and, above all, your management experience: particularly your current role and responsibilities
We will review all aspects of your application to assess you compared to our overall pool of applicants. Admission is not driven by any single measure, but rather by your overall range of activities and achievements.

For the benefit of participants, their sponsoring organizations and the program itself, we will make every attempt to build a diverse class. All participants will have comparable managerial responsibilities but will be exercising those responsibilities in a wide range of environments. You can expect your class to have very diverse skills, backgrounds, and experiences. As we assess your application, we will be asking:
  • do you have a position of executive responsibility?
  • …or will you soon have such a position?
  • would that position be enhanced by the Executive MBA program?
  • do you have the time, and the motivation, to make an 18-month commitment to attend classes and prepare assignments?
  • for sponsored candidates, does your sponsor consider that you have outstanding promise and potential within your organization?

Strong proficiency in reading, listening, writing, and speaking English is essential, as classes and group work rely heavily on these skills. Non-native speakers are required to submit an English proficiency test score (TOEFL, IELTS, or CU-TEP). There are no minimum test score requirements. It is your entire application that will be evaluated. TOEFL, IELTS, or CU-TEP Exemption Non-native English-speaking applicants may be exempted from submitting an English proficiency test score upon completion of a bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral degree at an accredited university in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, or New Zealand.

We find that interviews provide additional insight into applicants’ abilities and motivation to complete the Executive MBA program. Interviews also provide you an opportunity to discuss the Sasin Executive MBA program and raise questions of concern. Interviews, whether on campus or online, will be arranged and conducted only after the application has been submitted to the Admissions Office.
