WITH OVER 100 CAMPUSES AND LEARNING CENTERS WORLDWIDE.
It was always my desire to study at an American University where out-of-the-box thinking is encouraged and instructors are student-oriented. At Webster Thailand, I found classes to be very interactive and everyone gets to give their views, enriching the class even more. The student body is quite diverse, and it is common to have more than 10 nationalities in a class. This is one of the most rewarding parts of studying at Webster: it is a true cultural melting pot, where East meets West

Life in Thailand
Webster University Thailand isn’t your average college campus. East meets west and you enjoy both. If the world is your campus, than consider Thailand your class room.
Dinner might be a satay from a street vendor, or a Big Mac, or a platter of emma datsi over rice prepared by a classmate.
Trips to a magnificent temple bring life to Religion and culture classes. Go to the Bridge over the River Kwai and you’ll identify with the prisoners of war forced to build a railroad bridges during World War II. It’s not history in a book; it’s history in your face.
Your Thailand “class room” blends the East and the West in your daily life. Grocery shopping might mean a massive European style hyper market, or you could hit the local farmers market bargaining with your newly learned Thai and gestures.
You might even rent a boat and shop in a traditional Thai floating market. After all it is Thailand.
Visitors call Thailand “beautiful and green.” They’re right. Within one hour of the Cha-am/ Hua Hin campus are National Parks and protected waterfalls and hiking trails waiting for you and your friends.
Webster is a happy campus and you’ll quickly find new friends to share your adventures. Together you will enjoy your Thailand “class room” as you complement your academic training with your experiences.
