About School of Liberal Arts — Sukhothai Thammathirat Open University

The School of Liberal Arts is an academic department of Sukhothai Thammathirat Open University (STOU), based at the university’s Nonthaburi campus in Bang Phut, Pak Kret. Its teaching areas include Thai Studies, English, Information Science and general education for students across the university. STOU uses distance education, with independent study and teaching materials supported by the activities and assessments required for each programme. This mapped location represents the department at the university campus; it is not a separate school for children.

Study pathways

Three bachelor’s programmes

The university’s 2026 curriculum lists Bachelor of Arts pathways in Thai Studies, English and Information Science. The English programme emphasises independent language learning through distance education; Information Science addresses the organisation and use of information.

Seven certificate programmes

The 2026 undergraduate and sub-degree catalogue lists Chinese for Communication, Information Work, Khmer Language, Thai, English for Specific Careers, General Education, and Thai Social and Cultural Studies. Qualifications and study requirements differ by certificate.

Further study and student support

The departmental site also directs prospective postgraduate students to STOU’s graduate admissions service and publishes learning activities, FAQs and subject-area contacts. Use the relevant degree route rather than the undergraduate application system for postgraduate enquiries.

Applications and fees

  1. 01

    Check the intake for your programme

    The official 2026 admissions guide states that the English bachelor’s programme accepts new students in the first semester only. Do not assume that every listed programme is available in the university’s current second-semester intake.

  2. 02

    Published undergraduate fee components

    The second-semester 2026 application page, updated 27 October 2026, lists an 800-baht initial entry fee, 500-baht education maintenance fee and 100-baht student-record fee. A standard course block is shown as 300 baht plus 700 baht for teaching documents; an additional 100-baht media charge applies to blocks with educational media.

  3. 03

    Allow for your individual study route

    Those figures are fee components, not a quotation for a whole degree. Total study requirements depend on the qualification used for entry and the chosen programme; additional materials and resit registration can cost extra. Check the current university calculation before applying.

Planning your studies

Does distance education mean every activity is completed online?

The school describes distance education and independent study, but individual programmes can require scheduled activities and assessments. Check the current study plan, examination arrangements and any intensive sessions for your chosen pathway.

Where should I check entry qualifications and credit requirements?

Use the university’s current programme and admissions documents. Requirements vary by programme and previous qualification, so a single entry rule or completion time does not apply to every Liberal Arts applicant.
