      Note: Recommendation letters in English are preferred but if your recommender cannot provide one in English, the letters can be written in Burmese. However, if the applicant is selected for an in-person interview, the recommendation letters need to be translated before the interview date – the program team will advise.

After applicants have completed and submitted their applications, each application will be reviewed to confirm that they meet the eligibility criteria. If you meet the eligibility criteria, you will be asked to complete an online test to check your level of English. If you score above the minimum requirements of the program you are applying for, your application will be reviewed again, and you may be shortlisted for an interview. More information on the English Diagnostic Test is below.

English Diagnostic Test 

If you meet the eligibility criteria, you will be asked to complete an online test to check your level of English. The test will take place on the Teaching and e-Learning Platform. You will need to register, and a test date will be provided for you. If you score above the minimum requirements of the program you are applying for, your application will be reviewed again, and you have a chance to be shortlisted for an interview.

A small number of those whose applications are strong, but who do not score above the minimum requirements for their program on the English Diagnostic Test, may be considered for a 1-year course of intensive English study in Thailand. DISP will contact those applicants. There is no need to apply separately.
