Mahidol University International College enjoys exchange agreements with over 100 partner universities, representing more than 20 countries throughout the world. Participating in an exchange program is an excellent opportunity for MUIC students not only to expand their educational experiences through having an integrated, international curricular experience but also to engage in cultural exchange which will further develop their cross-cultural sensibilities.
Students can choose to study abroad for either one semester or one academic year at our partner universities and receive credit towards their degree at MUIC.
With the unpredictable characteristics of the COVID-19 outbreak, also due to travel and immigration restrictions in many countries, the Student Exchange Unit is postponing new applications for the July intake of the academic year 2020-2021 to early November 2020. This decision was made with the best interest of students’ health and safety.
The Student Exchange Unit is closely monitoring the situation regularly with the Thai government and partner universities to ensure that we can resume sending students abroad once the situation improves.
We appreciate your understanding during these challenging times. While waiting for the next recruitment, we invite you to explore the ICAbroad website to learn more about MUIC exchange partners and available exchange slots.
In the meantime please feel free to reach us at icia@mahidol.ac.th
