VNSO

Virtual New Student Orientation is a one-day experience required for all first-year students enrolling in the Fall Semester at Webster University Thailand's Bangkok or Cha-am Campus. The VNSO dates are aligned with students' programs to provide specific information about the academic experience. Graduate and Undergraduate orientations are thus run separately.

VNSO is an opportunity to connect with your future classmates and prepare for academic and non-academic life. These virtual sessions serve as an introduction to the University and can help you answer your questions. Most importantly, the VNSO program is required for all new students since it gives students all the necessary information to kick-start your academic journey with Webster.
