Thread: UK university to open campus in Thailand

Sounds hopeful.. I wonder how popular it would be... and expensive I imagine...

The University of Central Lancashire has signed a deal with a Thai-based entrepreneur to open a university campus in Bangkok in 2014.

Degrees will be taught in English and validated by the UK university.

Would probably get a few Aussies etc going there.

Also Chinese, Vietnamese, Singaporeans, Koreans...it would be a big Asian draw, as are the UK campuses in Malaysia. Quite a few Africans come here to study, as well.

What's that in metric?

Sitichai Charoenkajonkul is the Thai entrepreneur behind it. One can be an 'entrepreneur' in anything, but this guy is a storage and chemical man (Best companies) ... not much to do wiv skools there eh.

Take it he's buying the land and the Uni in England pay for and build it ....that kind of arrangement eh? I reckon that will be the sum of this 'partnership': Sitichai as landowner and rent taker ... the rest for the Uni and all live happily after

Get back on topic!!!! 6 foot five .... bleeding tall ... a lot of metric
