History of Dusit Thani College
1993
The Dusit Thani Hotel School opened its doors on Srinagarindra Road in Bangkok, under the leadership of Thanpuying Chanut Piyaoui, who was Chairman of the Board and Managing Director of Dusit Thani Public Company Limited.
At that time, Thailand had a shortage of manpower, knowledge, and experience in the hospitality industry, due in part to a lack of educational institutes and training programs. Those that existed focused only on theory, offering no practical experience for the students. In addition, there were few industry leaders involved in the academic development of hotel businesses.
Dusit Thani Hotel School was established to meet this need by delivering specialized, practical training for the industry and to support Thailand’s developing hotel business.
At first, two courses were available:
- Diploma in Hotel Operations
- Professional Chef Diploma
1996
Dusit Thani Hotel School became the first institute in Thailand to be approved for college status and started to offer undergraduate programs.
Now, we offer two international bachelor’s degree programs:
- Bachelor of Business Administration
- Hospitality Management, certified by École hôtelière de Lausanne
- Professional Culinary Arts, a joint program between Le Cordon Bleu and Dusit Thani College
We offer three Thai bachelor’s degree programs:
- Bachelor of Business Administration
- Hotel Management
- Culinary Arts and Kitchen Management
- Bachelor of Management
- Service Innovation in Tourism Industry
We offer Thai master’s degree programs in Business Administration. (MBA in Hospitality Business Management and MBA in Innovative Entrepreneur)
