Brief History

          Didyasarin International College has a long record of involvement with the Faculty of Liberal Arts and Education, Hatyai University. The Faculty of Liberal Arts and Education was first approved at the meeting of the Hatyai University Council on April 5, 2001. After that, the program was submitted for approval of 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. The Business English program was transferred to Didyasarin International College at the start of the 2008 academic year, 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). The press conference on the opening of DRIC was held on March 5, 2008 at U-Plaza, Hatyai University. In attendance was Aj. Praneet Didyasarin, the founder of Hatyai University, the Administrative team, and the first batch of international students from the Philippines and Indonesia. 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 on its vision, the College will continue to provide the community with rich learning opportunities and high academic qualifications.
