Benefits of MP

Benefits of MP

MP gives students the opportunity to solidify important mathematics skills necessary to be successful at MUIC and in the future. Students benefit from small class sizes, individual attention from teachers, and classmates solely focused on mathematics. MP was designed to not only give students a chance to enter MUIC but also to build a fundamental understanding of algebra needed for future math courses. Furthermore, MP helps students realize the importance of proper study skills and preparation in order to achieve their academic goals.

MP Curriculum

MP provides an opportunity for MUIC applicants who have proficient English language skills but lack the required mathematics scores of their chosen MUIC major. These applicants could potentially be accepted to MUIC if they improve their mathematical skills to the level equivalent to MUIC’s Foundation Math course.
Each MP course runs for one quarter (10 weeks), including a total of 96 hours of class time per quarter.

Passing Criteria for MP & Matriculation to MUIC

In order to pass MP and matriculate to MUIC, students must meet the following criteria: NOTE: 1. Final grades cannot be changed for any level. Students may not ask teachers or the Program Director to add points to their grades. All such requests will certainly be ignored. 2. Students who have already passed the MP course will have their results transferred to MUIC when they are accepted and registered there — MP students are NOT required to retake the MUIC Entrance Examination. If students cannot pass the MP course, their MUIC Entrance results will be cancelled.

Pass the objectives according to the course syllabus

Must attend at least 80% of the class hours in order to take final exams.

Achieve a final grade of ‘S’ (60% or above) to pass the MP program.

Demonstrate appropriate behavior through the MP course.

Submit complete high school results.

Meet all admissions requirements for the chosen major.

*Remark: A student who completes the MP Program in any PC quarter is eligible to study at Mahidol University International College in the following trimester.

Applicants may rely on the above PC/MP Academic calendar for arrangement of your study plan for either MP or MUIC, depending on your MUIC Entrance Examination result.

Example: A student has been accepted to study in MP in Quarter 4. He or she will start the MP course in September and complete the course in November. Then, he or she could study at MUIC in January (Trimester 2).

TCAS

(Thai University Central Admission System) * For Thai high school graduates

No. Only the students who are accepted to MUIC will have their names submitted to the TCAS. Those with MP student status will not have their names submitted to the TCAS until they complete MP and have enrolled at MUIC and paid the MUIC admissions fee.
The PC program does not submit the students’ names to the TCAS; all the accepted students can study at MP on condition that they have to cancel their admission status in the TCAS before continuing to Mahidol University International College.
