Raffles is Coming Home

Some of you might be concerned about hygiene and safety when we return, but don’t worry because we are making sure to follow all the safety procedures required by government directives on Covid-19. Our classrooms have been cleaned thoroughly including the lifts, stairs, restrooms, and cafe. You’re not allowed to sit less than 2 meters apart and you need to wear masks at all times around the campus. In every restroom, we provide soap for safe hand hygiene. You can be assured that you’re safe on our campus. The safety of our students and staff is our first priority.

Could working remotely be the new office trend for 2021?


After last year, most of you are probably familiar with studying or working from home because of the pandemic. When we were in lockdown, most businesses and schools were forced to operate remotely to reduce the number of infections. This made a lot of businesses realise that their employees don’t actually need to come into the office every day because they can do most of their work online.
However, there are still some obstacles to working remotely. For meetings, even though we have apps like Zoom, you can’t deny that they are quite hard to manage and not as good as meeting in person. A study done by recruitment specialists at Robert Walters Thailand found that 75% of workers want opportunities to work from home, and that only 25% want a return to full-time work at the office. Employees prefer to work from their homes and to work more flexible hours.
Remote work might not be suitable for all businesses, like factories whose employees require equipment. But if workers are allowed to bring machinery home for a time, the companies can save money by renting cheaper or smaller offices or not having offices at all. Not only that — because people don’t have to commute to the office, pollution has reduced quite a lot during the lockdown.
Nowadays, we don’t always know what is going to happen, so we need to prepare and be ready. All of our programmes are up-to-date with today and designed to help you keep up with the world’s changing trends so that you will be ready for everything that might happen in the future.
At Raffles, it takes less time for you to graduate than at a Thai university, so you can get a head start and find a job sooner than others. Go far and grow fast at Raffles. Studying at Raffles gives you more than just classroom knowledge. Check out our courses here: Raffles courses
