Press Release Summary: The Faculty of Engineering's Twinning Engineering Programmes
(TEP) & Thammasat English Programme of Engineering (TEPE) of Thammasat University
has announced the implementation of 2008 academic year admission framework.
Programme executives pointed out undergraduates will gain excellent scholastic
achievements and experiences with whichever programme they choose to pursue.

Press Release Body: Dr. Thira Jearsiripongkul, Director of the TEP & TEPE project,
commented that, under the Twinning Engineering Programme (TEP), students will earn
two engineering degrees from Thammasat University and joint university they choose
to pursue either The University of Nottingham in England or The University of New
South Wales in Australia. Both universities have well-deserved international
reputation for offering world class academic curriculums and cutting-edge
engineering researches. More importantly, graduates from both universities are
eligible to enroll for the postgraduate programs at education institutions in
Australia and Britain without processing English test. This is an opportunity not to
be missed for undergraduates studying aboard.

The Thammasat English Programme of Engineering (TEPE) is an engineering course
conducted in English that all academic sessions are being attended at Thammasat
University. Its objectives are to enhance engineering students' English skills to
effectively and fluently communicate in everyday life. The 2008 academic year has
offered even more financial aids through scholarships and the better opportunity to
apprentice in the world's leading companies such as Triumph Motorcycle, British
manufacturer of premium motorcycle with three factories operating in Thailand. The
TEPE undergraduates will possibly have an advantage to receive companies'
scholarships as well as are eligible to be recruited as their staffers.
Additionally, TEPE students will also have an opportunity to enroll for the other
exchange programs with leading universities in Britain, the United State, Germany,
Australia, Belgium, Japan and etc.

"Both TEP and TEPE students are opened to many fields of scholastic achievements and
experiences while gaining internationally-standard engineering skills and the
ability to clearly and effectively communicate in English, because the courses have
been conducted in English that meets international-standard quality," Dr. Thira
further remarked.

The Faculty of Engineering's Twining Engineering Programme (TEP) & Thammasat English
Programme of Engineering (TEPE), Thammasat University, are scheduled to implement
the 2008 academic year admission procedures from November 2008

About TEP & TEPE

The Twinning Engineering Programmes (TEP) was established in 1996 as a joint effort
between the Faculty of Engineering, Thammasat University and the University of
Nottingham, England. This programme has proved to be successful in developing
well-trained engineers for Thai and international industries. In a continuing effort
to provide more choice and diversity of engineering education for our students, we
extended our collaboration to the Faculty of Engineering, the University of New
South Wales, Australia in 2006.

The Thammasat English Programme of Engineering (TEPE), established in 2002, is an
engineering course conducted in English with objectives to take engineering study at
local institution into international-level standard to guarantee that undergraduates
under the programs will gain both basic engineering and English skills in
international-standard quality.
