Overview
For Thammasat University Economics at bachelor level, the clearest current official evidence for worldwide applicants is the Bachelor of Economics (B.E.) International Program. Its admission process is test-driven: applicants are ranked by General Math and English test scores, then shortlisted for interview. Academic records are required, but the international admissions sheet says GPAX is 'Not Determined,' and the program materials do not list either a portfolio or a statement of purpose as selection factors.

Admission criteria

PortfolioLow

The official B.E. admissions materials do not list a portfolio or work samples as an application requirement or selection factor. Even in the 'Inter Portfolio' rounds, the published criteria focus on test-score thresholds/weights, transcript submission, and interview shortlisting by score ranking rather than portfolio review.

Statement of PurposeLow

The official application instructions and required-document lists do not mention a statement of purpose, personal essay, or motivation letter for the B.E. International Program. Selection is described as based on test scores and interview, not an essay.

Academics & GPAMedium

Applicants must have completed high school and submit an official secondary-school transcript or high-school certification. This means academic record matters for eligibility and document review, but the international admissions sheet explicitly states GPAX is 'Not Determined,' while the Thai-track page emphasizes test-score weighting instead of GPA-based ranking.

Test scoresHigh

This is the most explicitly emphasized dimension. The program requires minimum General Math and English scores and publishes weights of 60% for Math and 40% for English for Thai-track admissions; the international-track announcement also states applicants are shortlisted based on score rankings. Accepted tests include SAT Math, SAT EBRW, TOEFL iBT, IELTS, TU-GET, and in some international routes country-specific exams such as Gaokao or national entrance/graduation exams. Published minimums include SAT Math 650 and English via SAT EBRW 450, TOEFL iBT 80, IELTS 6.5, or TU-GET PBT 550.

How to stand out
Prioritize math and English testing because Thammasat explicitly weights these scores in B.E. admissions.
Aim to beat the published minimums by a clear margin, especially in SAT Math and English proficiency tests.
Submit the strongest valid official score reports available, since the program allows score reports within two years and may consider different test dates for math and English.
Keep your transcript consistent and complete even though GPA is not the main ranking factor in the international route.
Do not spend time preparing a portfolio or essay unless a future official announcement specifically adds them.
