AIT Flexible Master’s Option in Thailand
The “Flexible Master’s Option” is a new alternative to our traditional “On-campus Master Option” to conduct Master studies at AIT. It is applicable to selected programs at all of our schools. Students will receive the same degree and the same academic requirements apply as the program offered in our regular “On-campus Option”. Students can do almost all coursework online via AIT’s Hybrid Mode of Instruction (certain programs may require a lab and research work on campus).
How it Works
Typically, the 1st year is online via AIT’s Hybrid Instruction. Students may spread coursework over more than one year. Students take the same course offered to on-campus students via Hybrid Mode. All classes are recorded for later viewing.
After completion of the coursework, students can do their research or thesis in the AIT Campus at a flexible time. In coordination with the Program Chair, students may come to campus in short blocks or up to 11 months, typically for thesis research work.
This is not an online program; students still need to come to the AIT Campus for certain activities such as labs or research work and the graduation ceremony. However, we will allow high flexibility for such activities at our beautiful green AIT Campus in Thailand.
Total flexible time to complete the program is 4 years.
