In just two years, you will become well versed in all business areas, able to analyze business issues in a whole new way.

At Payap University you don’t just learn business from text books. We are continuously building contacts with a diverse group of businesses in Chiang Mai as a way for our students to gain hands-on practical experience by interacting with these business owners and leaders.

The MBA department also sponsors an ongoing series of lectures from business leaders who are from various disciplines and from many countries to enrich the learning experience of our students and provide them with the opportunity to build future business contacts and create opportunities.

Philosophy

With the increased interest by the Thai Government in promoting international trade and the resultant increased interest and activities of the northern Thailand business community, there will be a need for qualified national and international managers. Payap University believes that graduate business education must keep up with the changes in the world, both in the international scene and in Thailand.

Because of the new global business environment, students must increase their knowledge in a way that only MBA studies will provide in order to be competitive. In addition, Payap University is in a unique position to provide an MBA program to prepare business graduate students to meet the challenges and demands of management in the new global environment.
