The Business Communication Program was originally launched in 2007 as an international program with a single language major, namely English. Its title was ‘Business English Communication (International Program)’, known in short as ‘BEC’. The program has been located at Rangsit Campus since then. With the aim of producing graduates or workforce with knowledge and skills in English specialized for communication in business contexts, the BEC program’s academics and staff are determined to professionally conduct teaching and learning activities for students. This helps them excel in a learning atmosphere that assists them in achieving their learning goals as well as meeting the program requirements.

In the BEC program, students are always encouraged to acquire theoretical knowledge from lectures and gain hands-on experience through practicum training in workplaces. Students also have opportunities to explore, observe, and learn to understand cultural diversity by participating in student exchange programs offered by partner universities around the world.

Over the past decades, the BEC program has witnessed success with a relatively high rate of employed graduates. A number of BEC graduates currently work in leading international companies, while others enjoy working and running their own businesses. These examples assure you that the BEC program is one of the programs initiated by the Faculty of Liberal Arts that provides education with international standards and quality, which we strive to maintain and continuously improve.

Given the program’s success and awareness of current business trends, as well as the increasing demand for a workforce with a variety of foreign language knowledge and skills, the Faculty of Liberal Arts has decided to revise the BEC curriculum. Three additional foreign language majors, namely Business Chinese, Business Japanese, and Business Korean, have been developed accordingly in 2023. With the new course structure design and courses featuring up-to-date and trendy contents, the three new majors are integrated under the program title ‘Business Communication (International) Program’ alongside the existing Business English Major.

The Business Communication International Program (BC) is a 4-year undergraduate program with a specific emphasis on the communication skills essential for business transactions. Starting from the year 2023, the program provides 4 areas of specialization.

• 1. Business English Communication
• 2. Business Chinese Communication
• 3. Business Japanese Communication
• 4. Business Korean Communication

Each major’s courses are designed to develop the language skills which include listening, speaking, reading and writing within business context. In addition, courses will provide the opportunity for students to acquire the skills necessary for business in various cultural contexts, including business meetings, business presentations, negotiations, translation and interpretation, which will help expand their job opportunities in the future. The end result should be that students will be equipped with the qualifications essential for those who want to be successful in the business world.

• Enhance real-life experiences
  Apart from language communication and business & marketing skills, we encourage students to seek real-life experiences through internship programs. We also partnered with many overseas institutes to support exchange programs. Our students can also choose elective courses provided by other departments to expand their knowledge and opportunities.

• Well-prepared for the future
  Our students will be well-groomed to be ready for the professional business world, with knowledge in business ethics, and understanding of cultural differences. As well as being well-equipped with soft skills that are essential for the 21st century world such as critical thinking skill, collaborative skill, creativity skill, and problem-solving skill.

Students are expected to graduate with a strong command of business communication skill as well as an extensive knowledge of the business world. With these attributes, graduates should be able to embark on the business career of their choice or into further studies in a confident and responsible manner.

After graduating students will possess a high employability potential in public and private sectors, for government offices, international organizations, and multinational corporations. There will be many business-oriented career opportunities open to them, including careers in business, management, banking, media, advertising, the hotel and tourism industry, the airline industry, public relations, human resources, communication, translation and academia. Ultimately, students will be well-equipped to engage themselves in an increasingly competitive working environment.

Students who wish to further their studies may choose to pursue their master’s and Ph.D. degrees in Thailand and abroad in a wide range of fields, such as Business Administration, Organizational Management, Economics, Communication Studies, Intercultural Communication, Applied Linguistics and Education.

Whether you want to join a corporation, pursue a doctoral degree, lead a community, or start a non-profit, the BAS curriculum is flexible and practical, enabling you to be competitive across diverse career fields.
