Curriculum highlights

Core subject areas and examples

The subjects below are paraphrased from TSU-IC’s public program page and revised curriculum. They illustrate the course mix; they are not a guarantee that every course runs each semester.

English language and communication

English usage, phonetics, reading development, structure and sentence writing, oral communication, paragraph and essay writing.

Literature, culture and linguistics

Prose and poetry, English and American literary history, literary criticism, English linguistics and intercultural communication.

Applied and academic work

Practical experience

Potential directions after graduation

TSU’s curriculum document mentions possible fields such as writing, translation, language-related academic work, hospitality, airline customer service, import/export, tourism and international relations. These are examples in the university curriculum; outcomes depend on a graduate’s skills, experience, language ability and local employment requirements.

Major options

English or professional communication?

TSU pages use slightly different labels for the program’s English and communication-focused study routes. The program overview describes “English” and “English Communication for Work”; the revised curriculum PDF identifies “English” and “English for Communication and Careers”; the June 2027 international notice says “English” and “English for Communication and Career.”

These names may reflect updated curriculum labels, but that is an inference from the pages and should not be treated as confirmed equivalence. Ask TSU-IC which exact major name and curriculum will appear in your application and degree record.

Tuition and budget

BA English fees at Thaksin University

TSU-IC lists BA English tuition at THB 25,000 per semester.
