Program identity
What does “BA Communication” mean at TSU?
The communication-focused option is presented in TSU materials as a pathway within an English BA, rather than clearly as a separate standalone “BA Communication” degree. TSU’s international admission notice for June 2027 lists the Bachelor of Arts in English with the major English for Communication and Career. The International College program page describes the BA in English and names English Communication for Work as its professional pathway.
TSU’s 2025 curriculum document uses another closely related label: English for Communication and Careers. The different names appear to refer to the communication-focused English route, but that interpretation is not stated explicitly by TSU. Before applying, confirm the exact degree title, major name and curriculum version that will apply to you.
| TSU source | Published label |
|---|---|
| June 2027 international notice | English for Communication and Career (under BA English) |
| Current TSU-IC BA page | English Communication for Work |
| 2025 revised curriculum PDF | English for Communication and Careers |
The names are similar but not identical. Ask TSU which is current for the specific intake; do not rely on an assumed equivalence.
What students study
Communication and workplace English
TSU-IC describes the work-focused route as practical English communication for professional settings. The listed areas include business communication, public speaking, technical writing and intercultural communication. The BA’s wider curriculum supports that study with language, writing, academic and applied subjects.
English language skills
The BA course list includes English usage, oral communication, phonetics, sentence structure, reading and paragraph or essay writing.
Academic and cultural study
Examples include academic reading and writing, international cultures, research methodology in English studies and intercultural communication.
Applied learning
The public curriculum lists pre-cooperative education and a practical-experience component. Confirm placements, eligibility and current arrangements with TSU.
Possible professional directions
The university program page associates the communication-focused route with work such as corporate communications, public relations, marketing and human resources. These are illustrative pathways described by TSU, not a guarantee of employment or professional eligibility. Outcomes depend on experience, language ability, local rules and employer requirements.
Duration and cost
Tuition and program length
The 2025 revised curriculum describes a four-year English BA with a minimum of 120 credits. TSU-IC’s BA page lists tuition at THB 25,000 per semester. If the program is billed across eight semesters at that same rate, tuition would calculate to THB 200,000; this is only a planning calculation and not a university-confirmed total.
The university’s general international fee page gives an average undergraduate tuition of about THB 28,000 per semester, while the BA-specific page lists THB 25,000. Use the BA-specific figure as an initial reference, then request the current written schedule for your student category and entry year.
Verify the specific BA fee with TSU-IC| BA tuition listed by TSU-IC | THB 25,000 per semester |

| Revised curriculum duration | 4 years |
| Calculated tuition (8 × THB 25,000) | THB 200,000, confirm billing |
| Minimum credits | 120 credits |
Not a full cost-of-attendance estimate. Application, activity, health insurance, visa, housing, travel and other charges may apply; confirm each with TSU.

Frequently asked questions
Thaksin University BA Communication FAQ
Does Thaksin University offer a BA in Communication?
TSU's June 2027 international admission notice lists a Bachelor of Arts in English with an English for Communication and Career major. TSU-IC's program page uses the label English Communication for Work. We did not find a separate standalone BA Communication or Communication Arts program in the current international BA materials reviewed. Confirm the degree and major title for your intake with TSU-IC.
What is the official name of the Thaksin University communication BA?
Official TSU pages use more than one label: the 2027 intake notice says English for Communication and Career; the current BA page says English Communication for Work; and the 2025 curriculum document uses English for Communication and Careers. These sources point to a communication-focused English BA route, but TSU should confirm the exact name shown on your application and award.
What do students study in the communication-focused BA?
TSU's program description emphasizes workplace communication, with examples such as business communication, public speaking, technical writing and intercultural communication. Its wider BA curriculum also lists English communication, writing, academic reading, translation, linguistics, research methods and practical experience. Consult the current study plan for the major-specific course list.
How long is the BA communication pathway?
The 2025 revised curriculum document describes the relevant English program as a four-year degree requiring at least 120 credits. Because TSU pages vary in how they label the communication route, confirm the duration and curriculum version for your intake.
How much is tuition for the TSU BA communication major?
TSU-IC lists THB 25,000 per semester for its Bachelor of Arts in English program. Eight semesters at that rate would equal THB 200,000 in tuition as a simple estimate, not an official total cost. Ask TSU whether this specific major, your student category and your intake use that rate, and whether other fees apply.
What are the 2027 international admission requirements?
The TSU-IC June 2027 prescreening notice says applicants must not hold Thai nationality, be no older than 21, have completed or be completing upper secondary school or equivalent, and have GPAX of at least 2.00. GED applicants need at least 600 overall and 145 in each subject. Check the notice for updates and confirm the deadline and document rules with TSU-IC.
What English test score is required?
A TSU International Student Service Unit page lists IELTS 5.5 or TOEFL 500 paper-based / 61 internet-based for undergraduate programs. Another general application page lists IELTS 5.0 or TOEFL 500; the 2027 TSU-IC notice does not give a test score. Ask TSU-IC which score or exemption applies to this BA intake.

Sources and verification
Program information, course examples, tuition and June 2027 eligibility were reviewed from official Thaksin University sources on October 19, 2026. TSU's pages use differing names for the communication-focused pathway and differ on general English test scores. The estimated THB 200,000 tuition is a calculation, not an official total.
