Bangkok School of Management
Bangkok School of Management (BSM) is an educational institution in Thailand, established in 1998, which offers courses in business and management. It is located on the 16th floor of the Amarin Plaza in the Ratchaprasong area of Bangkok.
The school operated initially as an American Degree programme provider in partnership with Southern New Hampshire University, USA. Due to natural evolution and academic demand, the institution had gradually evolved to be focusing more on UK and European curriculum based education, and to fill a void within this academic space. As of current, BSM is the Official Learning Support Centre for Northumbria University, Newcastle UK, for the undergraduate programme, and IPE Management School Paris[1] for the post graduate Master of Business Administration (MBA programme).
Student and faculty profile
Approximately 80% of the students and 70% of the faculty members come from an international background, positioning BSM as one of the only educational institutions in the region with an international approach to education. The students and staff come from a range of different countries, representing the continents of Europe, Asia, Australasia. All of the classes at BSM are conducted in English.
Undergraduate programme
BSM offers a "2+1" undergraduate programme, providing students the possibility of completing their first two years of undergraduate study in Bangkok, and the final year of their bachelor's degree either in Thailand itself, or directly in the UK at Northumbria University’s main campus in Newcastle. There are two bachelor's degree programmes offered to students through this pathway: 1) BA (Hons) Leadership and Management 2) BSc (Hons) Business and Management
Post Graduate programme
As the Official Support Centre for IPE Management School, BSM launched the only internationally accredited European MBA programme in Thailand, in July 2015. This is a blended learning system, giving the students the option to attend two classes per module, complimented by private online study. There are a total of 8 modules to be completed + 1 dissertation (study period of between 12–18 months). Upon graduation, students will receive a MBA degree from IPE Management School of Paris, a "Grande Ecole" within the Reseau des Grandes Ecoles Specialisees (GES), a level 1 accreditation in France.
