Table of Contents

 

This is the second edition of The University of Cambodia's Undergraduate Studies Catalog. It provides information on the latest updates to our degree programs; and on what students who follow these programs should expect, and have expected of them. It incorporates revisions of the degree programs offered by the University since the first edition appeared in September 2005, including the addition of several new Colleges, Schools and majors, together with the introduction of a Khmer track. Whilst every attempt has been made to ensure that the information contained here is correct, the updates page should be checked for the most up-to-date information.
