The objectives of this research were 1) to study the level of opinions on the learning outcomes according to the Thai Qualifications Framework (TQF) of students in ethics and morals, knowledge, cognitive skills, interpersonal and responsibility skills, and numerical analysis, communication, and information technology skills, and 2) to compare the differences between the opinions of students' learning outcomes according to the TQF on ethics and morals, knowledge, cognitive skills, interpersonal and responsibility skills, and numerical analysis, communication and information technology skills classified by personal factors. The sample group consisted of 315 students. Data was collected using a questionnaire. Statistics used were frequency, percentage, t-test, and one-way ANOVA POSTHOC test by Scheffe method. Most of the students are female, aged 19 to 21 years old, studying in their fourth year, with a cumulative GPA of 3.01 to 3.50, studying in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, International Program, and having Thai nationality. The analysis of learning outcomes classified by factor variables showed that gender, age, faculties studied, and different races had no different opinions about learning outcomes according to the TQF for Higher Education. Students with different years of study had different cognitive skills and students with different cumulative GPAs had different cognitive skills, knowledge, interpersonal, and responsibility skills. In addition, students with different faculties of study had different ethics and morals, knowledge, numerical analysis, communication, and information technology skills significantly at the 0.05 level.
