How many universities can claim to have an Oscar winner among their alumni? Right here, in the vibrant city of Bangkok, stands the Faculty of Communication Arts, a place where dreams are crafted and visions find their voice. The Faculty of Communication Arts, established in 1992 as part of Assumption University, has been a pioneering force in communication and design education in Thailand. Originally housed in the Queen’s Tower at Huamak Campus, the Faculty of Communication Arts later found its home at the Suvarnabhumi Campus in 2008. Two impressive buildings, the “Albert Laurence School of Communication Arts Building” and the “Communication Arts Studio,” now house this dynamic institution. This move marked a significant expansion for the faculty and reflected its growing prominence in the field. The Faculty of Communication Arts boasts a rich history. It was renamed in 2009 to honor Rev. Bro. Bancha Saenghiran, also known as Albert Laurence, the Rector of Assumption University. His visionary leadership and guidance shaped the faculty into the esteemed institution it is today. But what truly sets the Faculty of Communication Arts apart is the success of its graduates. They’ve garnered international acclaim, winning awards at prestigious events like the Cannes Festival of Creativity and the AdFest Asia. And yes, some have even reached the pinnacle of cinematic achievement, with Oscars for Visual Effects gracing their shelves. The Faculty of Communication Arts is more than just a school; it’s a launchpad for creative minds, a testament to the power of communication, and a source of pride for Thailand on the global stage.
