Have you ever dreamt of pursuing a Master’s degree at a world-class university in the United Kingdom?
For many, the vision of studying amidst classic European architecture, embracing new cultures, and securing international career opportunities may seem distant and complicated. Today, that aspiration is easily attainable for students at Khon Kaen University International College (KKUIC).
In the most exciting news of the year, KKUIC has entered into an official partnership with the University of York, one of the United Kingdom’s top-tier institutions. This collaboration launches the “4+1 Progression Agreement,” which promises to make the academic pathway for KKUIC students smoother and more rewarding than ever before.
Why the University of York?
The University of York is not merely a typical partner; it is a respected member of the Russell Group, the UK’s equivalent of the US Ivy League research-intensive universities. Its quality is affirmed by its consistently high rankings, typically placing in the Top 20 UK universities and ranking 12th in the Complete University Guide 2026.
Beyond academic excellence, York is consistently rated as one of the happiest places to live and the second safest city in the UK. The environmental atmosphere is green, sustainable, and supported by modern, state-of-the-art facilities.
Exclusive Privileges for KKUIC Students
This programme is more than a simple exchange contract; it is a “red-carpet pathway” specifically designed for KKUIC graduates, offering significant benefits:
- Tuition Fee Discount: Students who apply through this programme during the 2026–2027 academic year will receive an immediate tuition fee discount of $\text{\textsterling}$4,000 (approximately 170,000 THB). This significantly alleviates financial burdens and simplifies the decision to pursue further studies.
- Accessible Grade Requirement: Complicated grade equivalency is not a concern. Graduates from Khon Kaen University International College are qualified to apply with a Cumulative Grade Point Average (GPAX) of $2.60$ or higher (which is equivalent to the UK’s 2:2 degree classification). Applicants should, however, review the specific English language test requirements mandated by each corresponding Master’s programme at the University of York (click on the programme names below for further details).
