Medium of Instruction

The medium of instruction for BUUIC programs is in English with the exception of certain free

electives. Electives in such subjects as Thai language, Chinese language, and similar pre-

approved classes will be accepted as elective credits.

Language Enhancement

If, during the student‟s study for a degree, he or she wishes to improve his or her English

proficiency for study or work purposes, the student may enroll the Additional English Course

at no additional charge.

Frequently offered non-credit language enhancement courses include:

• BUUIC EL 01 English for Efficient Communication 120 hours

• BUUIC EL 02 English for Communication II (Reading and Speaking) 30 hours

• BUUIC EL 03 English for Communication III (Listening and Speaking) 30 hours

• BUUIC EL 04 Effective Use of English I 30 hours

• BUUIC EL 05 Effective Use of English II 30 hours

Students who satisfactorily complete a non-credit BUUIC EL course will receive a certificate of

successful completion. Those students whose English competency exceeds the level of the

BUUIC EL course offered in a given semester may be permitted to only take the final

examination to prove proficiency and thus receive a certificate of successful completion.

This option is only available for the above BUUIC EL courses 01-05.

Assessment of Academic Work

BUUIC instructors use two evaluation methods: continuous assessment and examinations. Each

course has a final written examination that normally lasts for three hours. Continuous

assessment will include lecture assignments in the form of essays or short answer questions, and/

or projects/case studies. The student‟s result in a course will depend on his or her performance in

both the continuous assessment and final examination in addition to attendance to the class for at

least 80 percent of total contact hours in that course. (i.e., 3 credits hour = 45 hours, students

must attend class for at least 36 hours).

Credit Transfer into BUUIC

Prospective students who wish to transfer credit from English-language or overseas universities

are required to successfully complete an International College entrance examination and submit

their transcript complete with course descriptions to the International College for assessment.
