Master of Laws Program in Business Laws (English Program) 3

In 1933, during the reign of King Rama VII (King Prajadhipok), the Law School and Chulalongkorn University’s Department of Political Science were, at the royal command, merged into a single department - the “Faculty of Law and Political Science” - within Chulalongkorn University.

Indeed, it is in 1933 that a need was felt by the Government, formed in the constitutional monarchy regime, to have institutions providing tertiary education as in civilised countries and offering people extensive educational opportunities up to the doctoral level so that the knowledge derived would be exploited in the interest of the State. Along this line, the Government put forth specific enactment called the “University of Moral and Political Science Act, B.E. 2476 (1933)”, establishing the “University of Moral and Political Science”, which is now “Thammasat University”. Under this Act, the Faculty of Law and Political Science (the Law School and the Civil Service School), then attached to Chulalongkorn University, was relocated into the University of Moral and Political Science, with Dr. Pridi Banomyong as the founding Rector. At its inception, the University of Moral and Political Science provided only one programme of study - the “Bachelor of Jurisprudence” degree programme, with emphasis on legal subjects. Later, in 1949, the University was restructured into 4 separate faculties. It is in that year that the “Faculty of Law” was officially put in place.

Thailand underwent a significant reform of legal systems during the reign of King Rama V (King Chulalongkorn). Under advice of Monsieur Gustav Rolin Jacquemyns (Praya Apairaja Siamanukulkija), a doctor of law from Belgium, who was then a counsellor of Siam, there emerged an idea of setting up a law school. Thereafter, when His Royal Highness Prince Rapeepatanasak (Kromaluang Raja Buri Direk Ridha) returned to Thailand upon graduation with a law degree from the University of Oxford, England, the Prince established, for the first time of its kind, a law school unofficially within the Minister of Justice in 1897.

King Rama V also established within the Royal Palace an administration school for providing children of royal servants with training in the administration of State affairs in order that the well-trained youngsters would serve the State in different regions of the country. In 1910, during the reign of King Rama VI (King Mongkut), the administration school was, at the royal command, elevated into the “King Rama V’s Civil Service School” which provided more comprehensive education. Later, in 1916, His Majesty King Mongkut established a university called “Chulalongkorn University”, divided into various departments, in remembrance of His Majesty’s father, King Chulalongkorn. Later, the formerly established Civil Service School was transferred to become a department of Chulalongkorn University, called the Department of Civil Service, which was subsequently renamed as the “Department of Public Administration” and the “Department of Political Science” respectively.

At that time, the studies in the fields of law, civil service, public administration or political science did not lead to a degree. Those having accomplished the courses of study and passed the final exams at the law school were awarded a certificate and would be offered a professional status as a “barrister-at-law” whilst those having completed and passed the final exams required by the Department of Civil Service, Public Administration or Political Science of Chulalongkorn University would receive only a certificate.

HiSTOry OF THE FACULTy OF LAW


In early days, admission of students to all faculties of Thammasat University required no selection process (hence, the ‘open-university’ status) and indeed required no compulsory attendance. In 1960, there was issued the Regulation on Bachelor’s Degree Programmes, pursuant to which students at the Faculty of Law were since then admitted through entrance examination.

In 1962, it was believed by the University that students contemplating a bachelor’s degree programme should first be equipped with fundamental knowledge. A requirement was therefore introduced to the effect that students of all faculties should, in their first year, pursue fundamental subjects before proceeding to their majors at their faculties.

In 1972, the Faculty of Law made available, for those having completed a non-law first degree, the law programme called the “Bachelor of Law Degree for Graduates” Programme (formerly, the “Evening Programme”), under which students would have to take merely compulsory law subjects required to be taken by 2nd year, 3rd year and 4th year law students of the regular programme. Upon completion of those law subjects, students would equally be granted the “Bachelor of Law” degree. This special programme has been in operation until now.

At graduate studies levels, the Faculty of Law has offered the Master of Law (LL.M.) and Doctor of Law (LL.D.) degrees until now, with regular revision of curricula to ensure academic excellence. In effect, the LL.D. degree programme and the LL.M. degree programme have most recently been revised in 1996 and 2001 respectively. The revised LL.M. degree programme offers 8 fields of study, viz, Private Law, Criminal Law, Public Law, International Law, Business Law, International Trade Law, Taxation Law and, finally, Environmental Law and Natural Resources Law.

In addition, the Faculty of Law offers another 2 graduate programmes - (1) Graduate Programme in Public Law (1997) and (2) Graduate Programme in Business Law (the revised programme, 2004). The Graduate Programme in Business Law offers specialisation in various areas, namely, human resources management law, business financing law, intellectual property law, business tax law, and risk management and insurance law.

Since 1971, the Faculty of Law has revised its curricula. The most recent revision is visualised in the Bachelor of Law degree curriculum in 2004.

In 2009, the English–language Master of Law degree programme (Business Laws) was launched by the Faculty. In effect, in the following academic year, Master of Arts in Public Law will be put in operation additionally.

Thammasat University and the University of Wisconsin Celebrate

“Sandwich Program”LL.M. Business Law in English Success

Thammasat University once again opens the door of opportunity for law graduates to join Thammasat University’s Master of Busi-ness Law Program (English Program), a collaboration with America’s top law school, the University of Wisconsin at Madison. We produce quality legal personnel who are the driving force of the nation. Hailed as the most cost-effective business law English program in the country, the Thammasat-Wisconsin sandwich program was developed for ten years before it was officially launched in 2009. Eighteen out of sixty-four enrolling students in Thammasat University’s Master of Business Law Program (English Program) have been accepted by the University of Wisconsin-Madison with transferable credits for another degree of LL.M. in Legal Institutions.

Contribution to National Development Apart from academic strength, contributions to national develop-ment are a value the program seeks to instil in students of varying backgrounds. Dean of the Faculty of Law of Thammasat University, Assoc Prof Dr Surasak Likhasitwattanakul, stressed that the program aspires to provide academic excellence for students while committing itself to social responsibility, the founding value of Thammasat University. The dean said that the Thammasat-Wisconsin business law program aims to create new elites who are capable of working as legal consultants for interna-tional organizations, yet adhere to the university’s mission to drive the country forward. Thammasat will likely expand the sandwich program to undergraduate level and to other fields of legal studies deemed useful for the develop-ment of Thailand in the globalized world.

Innovative Educational Venture Our Master of Business Law Program (English Program) is innovative in a sense that it is the first program in business law taught fully in English, and it is the first time that the University of Wisconsin has offered its courses toward the LL.M. in Legal Institutions outside the United States. The collaboration between the two leading universities is especially beneficial for law students and enthusiasts who want to take their legal expertise to another level without resigning from their full-time jobs. Close ties between Thammasat University and the University of

Wisconsin and their devotion to academic excellence are integral to the success of the program which represents the future of legal educa-tion, according to Director of the East Asian Legal Studies Center, the University of Wisconsin, Prof Charles R Irish. The professor added that the sandwich program would effectively prepare students for the legal job market against the backdrop of globalization. Not only Thammasat University’s LL.M. but students will be able to get the University of Wisconsin’s LL.M. with one semester of physical residence in the United States.

Academic ExcellenceWith the best law library in Thailand, Thammasat University provides a perfect learning environment for students who are encouraged to express their views in seminar-style classes. Director of the program,

Assoc Prof Dr Anan Chantara-opakorn said the program imple-ments student-centred learning methods by which knowledge is developed and skills are practiced by students themselves with support of teachers. Throughout the last academic year’s coursework, students actively participated in class and freely expressed their opinions in English. The renowned quality of teach-ing staff and lecturers from both Thammasat University and the University of Wisconsin guarantees that a degree earned by the program’s students is a strong symbol of academic excellence.

Insights from Students Enroll-ing in the Program

“I decided to apply for the program because I thought it does a good job of covering business laws that will be

Assoc Prof Dr Anan Chantara-opakornProf Charles R IrishAssoc Prof Dr Surasak Likhasitwattanakul

of great help to improve my work and English skills. I believed that the program will give me a good oppor-tunity to forge cooperation among future professionals and raise the standard of my work to the next level.”

“I am interested in this program because it offers me an opportunity to study law in English without going abroad. I can work and study in Thailand at the same time. The program is also helpful for my career as a judge. I expect that my legal perspective and capability will be enhanced tremendously.”

“My main interests always lie in the business world and this program will broaden my viewpoint in business as well as in legal issues. Joining the program is like studying abroad because lecturers teach in English and encourage students to express

their views in English as well. I hope the program will give me wide-ranging and in-depth knowledge in business law and help improve my analytical skills. I am confident that the knowledge I gain from the program will help resolve disagree-ments and prevent conflicts in business.”

“As a foreign trained lawyer, I wanted to enrol in a graduate program in business law offered in the evening to accommodate work-ing professionals with a full-time career. I applied for this program right away after I heard of it as it gave a one-of-a-kind higher educa-tion opportunity for legal profes-sionals in Thailand. I expect that the multidisciplinary professors teaching in the program will deliver rich comparative insights into two legal systems. I also hope to meet and establish networks with other legal professionals of diverse backgrounds and experiences.”

What did you gain from the graduation within two years at the LL.M.(EP) of Thammasat University?

I truly learned a lot from this program where it had not only provided me with knowledge but also valuable experience. Through

the guidance of professors, my experience in legal practices has been widened. I also learned the research methodology, which is advantageous for improving myself and also for my further education.

What is your expectations of studying at UW? / How would you apply the knowledge to your work / career plan?

Studying at UW will be a good opportunity to widen my experience both in academic and social aspects. I will definitely be

able to learn from lawyers of several backgrounds, thoughts and practices which I believe conducive to strengthen a

lawyer’s sound legal mind. This will unquestionably be beneficial for my legal career.

I found an amazing community of individuals that let to very meaningful and important experiences. They were all from LL.M. English Program,

Thammasat University.What is your expectations of studying at UW? I expect to broaden my horizon, gain new

experiences especially learning a different culture and become a global citizen.


Ekarin Tengchiew

“To be an extraordinarily successful lawyer in the international field, the seemly tertiary education, from my point

of view, is indispensable. Among several choices, an LLM course (English program) at Thammasat University is particularly outstanding

for its excellence at affordable cost. During the 2-year course, all diverse assignments of well-devised curriculum had developed my professional skills necessary for my practice in the real world. My legal knowledge has been progressively enhanced to the international level while my English has been too significantly improved. Further, the interpersonal relationship I forged with classmates of similar fields of work has helped explore my vision of legal career as well as

personal life. Last but definitely not least, the confidence in my potential has been firmly formed. I strongly believe that the

program has afforded me a true opportunity for a healthy future.”
