Our program is the first international accountancy program in Thailand to feature three years of coursework and one year of internship. We have designed our program this way to give another alternative to our target groups namely students in Thailand’s Northeast or from other parts of ASEAN or Mekong Basin region. As we have sought to boost our graduates’ chance of getting a job relevant to their field of study, we have included the one-year internship in our program. Our concept is about letting them “Learn from real world business experts”, which promises to equip our graduates with the applied knowledge of accounting and greater ability to adjust themselves to corporate culture and various situations. At present, we have been an educational partner of many nationally and internationally recognized firms. Among them are the Big 4 auditing firms namely PwC, KPMG, Deloitte, and EY. Mitr Phol Group has also been our partner.

Our students therefore may choose to study there as a part of the program if they would like to receive degrees from both the institute and our university.

Foods & beverages services, meanwhile, are provided by our students at KKBS Café.
