On September 6’16, the working committee of the BTEC programme (Business Technical Education Commission) went to meet Dr Soonthorn Pibulcharoensit, The University Registrar, Assumption University (ABAC) and his team. We introduced and explained about the BTEC programme which the school is opening now as an alternative academic pathway for Year 12 and 13 students. The BTEC programme is designed to respond to the interest and level of capability of each student. ABAC currently offers several international programmes of study which are closely linked to the BTEC programmes and ABAC is one of the universities in Thailand that will accept our graduating students from our new BTEC programme at BIST. This is great news as it confirms that our students who complete the BTEC programme from BIST can continue their study at the university level in Thailand or in other countries around the world.
