Letter of Recommendation

This is a letter issued by Bangkok University that you will need when applying for admission into an international study program at another university, in Thailand or abroad. The letter will support and recommend you to the study program you are applying for. A recommendation letter can also be used when you want to apply for a job.

Notes

When applying to more than one university, it would be good to ask two or more persons to write a recommendation for you. Using copies of one recommendation to apply at different universities is also possible.
