Brief History
Didyasarin International College has a long record of involvement with the Faculty of Liberal Arts and Education, Hatyai University. The Hatyai University Council first approved the Faculty of Liberal Arts and Education on April 5, 2001. After that, the program was submitted for approval by the Committee of Private Universities of the Ministry of University Affairs on April 11, 2001. The committee approved the Faculty of Liberal Arts in Business English program (regular and special programs) as a four-year program and a two-year continuous program. From the start, the Faculty of Liberal Arts and Education began its mission to produce graduates in the Business English program by enrolling forty-three students in the four-year program in the first semester of the 2001 academic year. At the start of the 2008 academic year, the Faculty of Liberal Arts and Education transferred the Business English program to Didyasarin International College, and it became known as International Business English (IBE). IBE was the first program opened under Didyasarin International College.
On the auspicious occasion of its 10th anniversary in 2008, Hatyai University, the first private university in Southern Thailand, established Didyasarin International College (DRIC). On March 5, 2008, Hatyai University's U-Plaza hosted a press conference to announce the opening of DRIC. Aj. Praneet Didyasarin, Hatyai University's founder, the administrative team, and the first batch of international students from the Philippines and Indonesia were in attendance. With the academic support provided by Assumption University (ABAC) and in collaboration with other local and international academic institutions, the college has grown from strength to strength. It currently has five academic departments: English (ENG), Business Chinese (BC), Digital Media Design (DMD), International Business Management (IBM), and Airline Business (AL).
With the aim of keeping track of its vision, the college will continue to provide the community with rich learning opportunities and high academic qualifications.
