Switching from a “fixed timetable” to a “class schedule” you choose yourself
- High School: Your schedule is strictly set from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
- Sripatum University: Total freedom! You can organize your own class schedule. Whether you want to study in the morning or afternoon, or set aside free days for activities or part-time jobs, you can do it all. It’s a great way to practice time management and responsibility.
From “Uniforms” to “Freedom of Dress”
- High School: You must always wear a proper student uniform.
- SPU: While there is a student uniform, there is much more freedom in how you dress. You can mix & match to fully reflect your own style on regular school days (within reason), making the learning atmosphere more relaxed and creative.
A deep dive into the unique SPU teaching style
At SPU, we don’t just learn from textbooks; we focus on “Learning by Doing” through projects, workshops, and learning from real industry professionals. This ensures you’re ready to work immediately after graduation, which is quite different from traditional classroom learning. Read more about interesting faculties at SPU here.
An open society and connections you build yourself
- High School: Small groups of friends within the same classroom or grade level.
- SPU: A whole new, wider world! You’ll meet friends from different faculties and year levels through activities, clubs, or elective courses. This allows you to build diverse connections that are very beneficial for the future. Higher education serves as a vital foundation, as promoted by the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation.
