Bachelor’s Degrees
A Bachelor’s Degree is open to students who have successfully completed their High School Baccalaureate. A student will have to study for four years, including the Foundation Year (three terms/year) to be able to complete a Bachelor’s Degree. In order to enroll into a Bachelor’s program, students need to have a high school certificate or its equivalent. The University of Cambodia applies the credit system used by American universities. Thus, students will usually have to complete:
Note: when the student completes the Foundation Year Program – which is recognized by the Accreditation Committee of Cambodia (ACC) – they will receive a Foundation Year Certificate. UC can accept students into our programs who have completed their Foundation Year Certificates at other universities: they can enter as second-year students in the relevant degree program.
All of the courses done in their Foundation Year program will be accepted provided that they are each 3 credits (45 hours), UC offers an equivalent course, and the student received a high enough grade. Students who have proceeded further with a Bachelor’s degree at another university can also opt to complete their degree at UC; they can count up to 58 transfer credits from their previous university towards a UC degree, provided that the grades are high enough and comparable courses are available at UC. UC encourages students to consult their respective Associate Dean for guidance regarding planning their degree.
