What are your chances?

Assumption University is a private, nonprofit Catholic university in Thailand, administered by the Brothers of St. Gabriel. It began as the Assumption School of Business in 1969, became Assumption Business Administration College—hence the enduring “ABAC” name—in 1972, and received university status in 1990. The university offers bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral education, with English serving as its officially approved medium of instruction apart from a small number of Thai-language courses for Thai-speaking students. Most undergraduate activity is associated with the spacious Suvarnabhumi Campus in Samut Prakan, while the compact Hua Mak Campus is in Bangkok and supports graduate and other university functions. Its academic portfolio extends beyond its business origins to arts, communication, architecture and design, biotechnology, engineering and technology, law, music, and nursing.

Student Life & Environment

Student life is divided between two contrasting environments. Suvarnabhumi is the more residential setting, with three university residence halls—King Solomon, Queen of Sheba, and King David—along with academic buildings, sports facilities, dining, a chapel, a museum, and student services. Residence-hall places are subject to availability, so applicants should not treat campus housing as guaranteed. Hua Mak offers a compact city-campus experience with shops and services nearby. The university lists health services, counseling, student safety and welfare support, libraries, dining, arts and culture activities, and organized student activity units. The Assumption University Student Organization coordinates campus activities. AU’s 2026 Club Week at Suvarnabhumi provides current evidence of an active club system and opportunities for students to meet organizations and become involved outside class. Dining is available on both campuses, although operating hours may change during semester breaks. The Center for Student Discipline and Campus Life covers residential life, safety and welfare, student rights and discipline, and certain services relevant to Thai students. Career support is provided separately through the Center for Career Development and Counseling. Prospective students should compare residential availability and daily transport needs before choosing where to live, particularly if their classes are split between campuses.

Location & Surroundings

The database identifies Bangkok as the university’s city, but AU’s two principal campuses sit in different administrative areas. Hua Mak Campus is at Ramkhamhaeng 24 in Bang Kapi, Bangkok. It is compact and urban, with 17 buildings and surrounding food, convenience, and service businesses. This setting may suit students who want easier access to Bangkok’s dense commercial and residential environment. Suvarnabhumi Campus is at Bang Na–Trat Road, kilometer 26, in Bang Sao Thong, Samut Prakan. The university describes it as a 200-acre landscaped campus designed primarily for undergraduate programs. It includes residence halls and the Cathedral of Learning, which contains the library, seminar rooms, offices, and student services. The campus is outside central Bangkok and should not be treated as a downtown location. The university reports shuttle links between the campuses and from points in Bangkok to Suvarnabhumi. Travel time will depend on traffic and departure point, so students should review the current transport schedule and locate their program before committing to housing. International students should also distinguish Suvarnabhumi Campus from Suvarnabhumi Airport despite the shared name.

Costs & Career Outcomes

Assumption University publishes separate undergraduate fee schedules for Thai and non-Thai students. The international schedule dated April 27, 2026 gives approximate total program fees rather than a single annual tuition figure. Listed totals vary substantially by subject: examples range from THB 541,850 for the Thai-language law program and THB 570,550 for English for International Business to THB 909,000 for Design and Digital Innovation and THB 1,209,000 for Family Business Management and Innovation. Specialized aeronautical routes are much more expensive, reaching THB 1,547,150 for aircraft maintenance and THB 3,372,750 for the commercial-pilot concentration. These figures are estimates across the full program and are subject to change. The 2026 international schedule says first enrollment includes specified matriculation, health-check, and photography charges; intensive-course costs may be additional. It also lists health-insurance charges for non-Thai students. Housing, meals, transport, personal expenses, visa costs, and other living expenses should be budgeted separately. Applicants should request a current program-level quotation before paying. AU provides career development and counseling rather than promising a particular employment outcome. Its February 2026 Career Week offered career planning, assessment, recruitment resources, and résumé preparation with external job-search partners. Program pages may also describe internships or professional preparation, but these are not uniform across the university. No authoritative current graduate salary, placement-rate, or employer-outcome dataset was located, so career value should be assessed through the curriculum, practical requirements, accreditation where relevant, and direct questions to the school.
