Background

In 2005, Center of Thai Language was created under cooperation between Royal University of Phnom Penh with Rajaphat Buriram University supported by Thailand International Cooperation Agency (TICA). Non-degree Program was the first program to teach Thai Language to RUPPs’ Students. This program requires students to study for 4 years (only part-time). After that, in 2012, we had Minor Credit program that students could study Thai language for 3 years, nd the scores of students were reported in Transcripts. In 2013, we started to open Thai Short Course program to give opportunity other students that were not RUPPs’ students could study Thai language. Furthermore, this program was supporting program for Bachelor degree program as well. Approved by Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport, on 09 September 2014, Center of Thai language became the Department of Thai.
