As Cambodia recovers
from its traumatic past, and thereby modernizes and interacts more regionally
and globally, there is an ever-growing need for professionals with an in-depth
knowledge of our own country's rules of law; Cambodian and international
regulations governing trade and commerce between countries; international
conventions on the environment, labor, intellectual property, human rights; and
also dispute resolution. Such knowledge is important for both policy
development and advocacy work within Cambodia.
The College of Law aims to offer a curriculum
whose breadth and depth is unmatched for legal education in Cambodia. The
syllabus seeks to provide students with a solid educational foundation for
their continuing intellectual, human and professional development as they build
their future legal careers.
Rather
than emphasizing any single area of Law, the College provides both introductory
and advanced courses in every major area of legal endeavor. This varied and
challenging educational program aims not just to give a good perspective on
relevant legislative systems; but also to train students' thinking capabilities
in order to help them assess (and seek to resolve) a variety of real-life
situations – in legal practice, the government and other public service, academia,
and business. As the Cambodian legal system evolves, together with those in the
region and internationally, we will update our course-offerings accordingly.
Thus the mission of the College of Law is to
provide students with the knowledge and skills essential for handling legal
matters and so help to strengthen the Rule of Law in Cambodia. Related to this,
the goals of the Law programs at the
University of Cambodia are to:
- enable
students to acquire the knowledge and skills to deal with facts in relation
to the concepts, principles, and theories of various types of legal issue;
- promote
students’ conceptions of legal rights at both national and international
levels;
- prepare
students to understand, interpret, analyze and apply legal rules,
- enable
students to acquire drafting and legal analysis skills;
- develop students' abilities to practice
legal critical thinking and solve problems; and
- deepen students commitment to professional legal ethics and values.
The three Bachelor’s
programs comprise:
·
Law
(LLB)
·
Private Law (LLB)
·
Public Law (LLB)
At present, these are
offered on the International Track, being taught through the medium of the
English language.
This Bachelor’s degree program is
designed to enable students to acquire the legal knowledge and skills
to deal with facts in relation to the concepts, principles, , and
theories of knowledge and law in general. It provides students
with in-depth knowledge of law without distinction of public and private law.
Students will gain more knowledge of law in general and can pursue work at both
public and private sectors.
