ABOUT AU

The University Background

The St. Gabriel Foundation, a worldwide organization founded in France in 1705, is responsible for the establishment and administration of Assumption University. The Foundation has been dedicated to education and philanthropic activities in Thailand for more than 100 years and it now operates 14 educational institutions providing all levels of education.

 

Assumption School of Business was initially founded in 1969 and in 1972 it became Assumption Business Administration College (ABAC). In 1975 the Ministry of University Affairs accredited ABAC and later in 1990 it was accredited a fully-fledged university, and renamed as Assumption University (AU). The University is administered by a Council which takes policy initiatives and provides guidance for long-term planning and formulation of control procedures.

 

Today, AU is considered the leading private university in Thailand in the fields of Business, Management and Information Technology as demonstrated by the placement of many of its graduates in key management and technological positions in industry, government, banking and multinational conglomerates worldwide.

 

The University’s curriculum is patterned after the American semester hour credit system and most textbooks are similar to those used in international universities. Graduates receive an education that is both globally marketable and flexible leading to highly productive careers within the various sectors of society from which the students come and to which they aspire to be.
