Two film study routes at BU

Bangkok University lists more than one relevant degree. The international option is a Bachelor of Arts in Film, Series and Global Content Production and Business, offered by BU International College. BU also lists a separate Film program under its School of Digital Media and Cinematic Arts; the program page describes it as a Thai course. These are not interchangeable titles, so check teaching language, admission requirements and fees for your chosen route.

For international applicants who need an English-language degree, the BUIC international program is the directly relevant listing. BU’s International admissions office should confirm language expectations and whether your previous qualifications meet entry requirements.
