Frequently Asked Questions
BAScii program offers one intake per academic year, which begins in August. Application rounds open in late fall of the previous year, and applicants should follow the timeline and requirements provided in the admission announcement to apply.
Your eligibility for the International Admission depends on your citizenship, not your school type. If you hold citizenship from any country other than Thailand and hold a valid ID document of that country, you may apply in the Early International or International Admission Rounds. Thai citizens can apply in Early Admission or the 2nd Admission Round reserved for Thai students.
We do not have any age requirements. Applicants must have completed high school or be currently in their final year of high school (Matayom 6 in the Thai system, Grade 12 in the US system, or Year 13 in the British/IB system) or have passed an equivalent of high school qualification.
International students are required to apply during either Early International Admission or International Admission Rounds. In addition to standardized test scores, international applicants must obtain an equivalency certificate for their High School diploma through the university equivalency system: https://hsces.atc.chula.ac.th/. If you’re applying from abroad, the entire process, including interviews and the aptitude test, can be done online.
If you are unable to attend the on-site interview due to valid reasons, please inform us in advance, and we will arrange an online interview for you.
Yes, CSII offers both partial and limited full scholarships for eligible BAScii students. Scholarships are awarded based on academic merit, financial need, or outstanding achievements. Students may request consideration for scholarships in the application system. Please note that students must first be offered a seat at the program and confirm their enrolment to be considered for the scholarship.
Applicants must meet English and Mathematics proficiency requirements by submitting standardized test scores such as IELTS, SAT, ACT, and others. Additionally, you will need to provide your high school transcript and diploma (or equivalent), or a certificate of student status if you have not yet graduated. Please refer to the specific admission requirements in the official announcement for each admission round.
Our program does not require score reports to be sent directly from the College Board. Instead, applicants must download the score report showing their full name and clear test scores that meet our program’s requirements from the respective websites (TOEFL/IELTS/SAT/ACT/CU-TEP/CU-AAT). These documents should then be uploaded to our application platform. If a candidate is shortlisted for the next step of the admission, he or she will then be required to verify the validity of their test scores.
We only accept e-portfolios submitted through our application system. When filling in the application, students will see the section for E-Portfolio where they can add further details in the form provided. The Admissions Committee will not accept any additional separate files for the E-Portfolio requirements outside of the form provided in the application platform.
Your E-Portfolio should demonstrate your readiness for BAScii by highlighting relevant skills and experiences in innovation, entrepreneurship, programming, and hands-on projects. Include internships, competitions, and leadership roles, and follow the structured form provided in the application system.
The aptitude test consists of a set of simple written questions designed to assess an individual’s natural inclination toward innovation based on traits like mental agility and behavioural characteristics. This is not a knowledge-based test, so no preparation is required. Just come with a clear mind.
The Team Spirit Assessment is a collaborative activity designed for shortlisted candidates to showcase their creative thinking, problem-solving abilities, and teamwork skills. Candidates will work together to tackle real-world challenges, demonstrating the qualities that are key to innovation and crucial for BAScii students. This assessment focuses on how you approach design thinking and collaboration—essential skills for thriving in our program.
