University Pathways
Transitioning from high school to university is an exciting and important time for students and families. MUIDS helps students make this transition with confidence. Counselors offer guidance in all aspects of preparing for life after graduation.
MUIDS students can prepare to enter a Thai university program, Thai international program, or any university abroad. The classes students take depends on the type of university and program they plan to attend. Some faculties in Thai universities require significantly more math and science credits than international universities.Counselors help students navigate this complex process.
