Bangkok Business School of Yunnan University of Finance and Economics was officially approved by China’s Ministry of Education on December 31, 2013 as an overseas educational institution. Bangkok Business School officially unveiled its plate at Rangsit University in Thailand on July 22, 2014. It was jointly established by Yunnan University of Finance and Economics (YUFE) and Rangsit University in Thailand, making it the first overseas educational institution set up by a university in Yunnan Province. It is also one of only four overseas institutions approved by the Ministry of Education to offer degree programs abroad, and the first one in Thailand. The founding of Bangkok Business School marked a major shift in YUFE’s internationalization efforts—from simply “bringing in” international resources to actively “going global.” It represents a milestone in the university’s development, as well as a key step in sharing China’s high-quality educational resources and participating in global governance of education. Bangkok Business School began admitting students in 2015. As of March 2025, it has enrolled 225 international students for bachelor’s and master’s dual-degree program from four countries, in collaboration with Rangsit University and Phetchabun Rajabhat University. 68 students have already graduated.
Currently, the School offers undergraduate program in international business and MBA for international students. Relying on China’s advanced educational philosophy and standards, YUFE’s strong academic disciplines and faculty strengths, the programs are designed to support the “Belt and Road” Initiative and ride the broader trend of educational internationalization. They aim to train high-level, internationally-oriented, multidisciplinary professionals who have a solid theoretical foundation in management and economics, master international business laws and practices, possess strong cross-cultural communication, coordination, and teamwork skills; are proficient in Chinese, English, and Thai, as well as computer technology and other economic and management analysis tools; meet the needs of economic and cultural exchange between China and Thailand; engage in international trade in goods and services, investment, and overseas project contracting; and grasp international finance, global economic cooperation, international investment, and multinational enterprise management.
