Treenat Bert Jaiyasarn
Director of Westminster International, stated:
“Westminster International is delighted to offer the Kings Advanced Level Foundation at our brand-new centre at Chula Samyan Mitrtown, a prime location in Bangkok. This will provide high school graduating students the opportunity to study a top-quality foundation year locally, in preparation for entry to the very best UK universities. Subjects will include Business, Economics, Mathematics, History, Human Geography and Physics as well as Communication and Study Skills and Data Handling & IT.
There is increasing demand for foundation provision from Thai students and their parents. Kings Advanced Level Foundation programme is a well-established and popular option at Kings Colleges in the UK. At a time when students in Thailand may be more hesitant about studying in the UK due to the Covid-19 situation, the partnership provides a bridge to world-class UK undergraduate education from Thailand. As such, our partner UK Universities can benefit from a steady stream of suitably prepared and qualified undergraduate candidate students from Kings Advanced Level Foundation programme in Bangkok progressing to the UK from September 2021 onwards.”
Michael Parris
Kings Development Director added:
“Kings are delighted to be developing our strong professional relationship with Westminster International through our new partnership agreement. The agreement will allow for the establishment of a new Kings teaching centre in Bangkok operating alongside Westminster International. The new facility is ideally located in the heart of the city and provides fantastic facilities and transport links. Westminster International already provide high-quality IELTS preparation programmes and we are pleased to be working together to expand this provision to include quality academic preparation through our Advanced level Foundation. Kings will retain full oversight of programme quality and delivery and will work with Westminster to support students’ progression to leading universities. Bangkok is a key hub for local and international high school students in South East Asia. Our new centre will provide greater flexibility for students, allowing them to begin their educational journey with Kings locally in Bangkok as an alternative to our UK colleges.”
