The University of Cambodia (UC; Khmer: សាកលវិទ្យាល័យកម្ពុជា, UNGEGN: Sakâlôvĭtyéaloăy Kâmpŭchéa, ALA-LC: Sākalavidyālăy Kambujā) is a private[2] university located on North bridge Road in Sen Sok District, Phnom Penh, Kingdom of Cambodia.[3] Founded in 2003[4] by Dr. Kao Kim Hourn,[5] minister delegate to the prime minister of Cambodia,[6] and Dr. Haruhisa Handa,[7] founder and chairman of the International Foundation for Arts and Culture.[8] UC is accredited by the Royal Government of Cambodia[9] and the Accreditation Committee of Cambodia,[10] and is a member of the Cambodian Higher Education Association.[11]
The University is organized to provide foundation year, associate, bachelor's, master's and doctoral programs through its twelve colleges and schools: the college of arts and humanities, the college of education, the college of law, the college of media and communications,[12] the college of science and technology, the college of social sciences, the school of creative arts, the school of foreign languages, the Techo Sen School of Government and International Relations,[13] and The Tony Fernandes School of Business (formerly the College of Management).[14] Additionally, the school of graduate studies oversees the university's graduate programs, and the school of undergraduate studies manages the undergraduate programs.[15]
As a model, the University uses the credit-based system that is used in the United States,[16] and the programs are taught through the medium of the English language.[2] In 2013, the University launched the Khmer Track, which offers the same UC programs, but taught in the medium of the Khmer (Cambodian) language. UC subsequently renamed the existing English language programs the International Track.[17] In October 2022, LCT. Khem Rany was appointed as the Acting President, succeeding Dr. Kao Kim Hourn who stepped down to take a new position as Secretary-General of ASEAN.[18]
