complicated marketing needs.  We will never accomplish the objectives of integrated  communication unless we have the knowledge and  understanding of the marketing mix thoroughly.  For me, MIM is just like a main resource which successfully helps me increase the visions in marketing.  At MIM, I acquired endless theoretical knowledge, had great experiences and acquired very practical ideas from both instructors and my classmates.  I had never imagined that I would be surrounded by some of the brightest people I will ever meet.  I have made friends at MIM whose interests are so different from mine that our paths might never have crossed if I had not attended the MIM Program.  The ideas we exchanged  always light up new angles of my perspective and will always be an invaluable inspiration to my present career�.

successful business executives from Thai commerce. This meant that courses were notonly relevant to everyday situations but that they were current and up to date.  I found that the MIM course gave to students exactly what they put into it.  The amount of home reading is significant and the demand on work and personal time is considerable.  Personally, I enjoy studying and appreciated the close friendship of my fellow students.  It was very difficult at times to balance the demands of work, study and family life.  With the full support of my family however I was able to achieve consistent results through out the course.  The difficulty of the course made it all the more rewarding on graduation.  It gives me great pride in being a Thammasat graduate and particularly from MIM�.
