Chulalongkorn University, Thailand’s first institution of higher learning, opened in 1917 and is located in the centre of Bangkok city. The Faculty of Commerce and Accountancy was first established in 1938 &
contains five academic departments: Accountancy, Commerce, Statistics, Banking and Finance, and Marketing. There are currently 2,300 undergraduate students in the faculty and the Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) International Program is the first undergraduate level programme that is taught entirely in English at Chulalongkorn. The University has taken steps to innovate teaching and learning. Premised on the belief that learning must go beyond "listening to lectures", faculties and students at the Chulalongkorn Business School (CBS) are exposed to "acting" as an effective mode of learning accounting and business-related knowledge. The two types of learning laboratories at CBS are namely (i) a Theathre-like "black room" for students to act out "drama scenes"; and (ii) an online stockbroking room using live databases such as Bloomberg, Standard & Poors and the local Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET). ARI researchers were invited to visit the university and they explored the various innovative teaching and learning tools at the university.
