Message from President


Universities in most parts of the world were once institutions funded by the government. However, today, expansion of higher education has given way to private universities as partners in education to develop society. The increased role of the private sector in education has ushered in reforms. In particular, Cambodia is in the process of this reform. The first institution that will help rationalize the role of the private higher education in Cambodia is the ACC (Accreditation Committee of Cambodia). This process of accreditation encourages reforms in all aspects of operation. This reminds us that Quality Service is the heart of every Higher Education Institution.

Under our current development context, Build Bright University (BBU) is proud to be one of the national leading institutions in meeting the training, education and research aspirations of the students and communities it serves. The ability to quickly response to the fast changing workforce environments in introducing its new courses makes Build Bright an excellent choice for learners who wish to be workforce ready.

In its undergraduate and postgraduate degree courses, the university delivers a range of programs at all study centers through the art & humanities, business & social science, engineering, language & cultural studies, and science & technology.

To enhance the range of research and training activities, the university has established an Institute of Mobilizing Knowledge for Economic Development and Peace (IMEP) which has a center for research, training and consultancy. The center has its sole objective to undertake need-based training and to carryout researches on socio-economic importance. As a center for research, training and consultancy, IMEP is committed to contribute quality research, valuable consultancy and effective training programs in various areas.

The university has gained a national reputation for its commitment to high quality learning, teaching and training, for its applied research and for its engagement with industry, business and its local communities and it has much pride in its staff, students, alumni, and the communities it serves.

BBU has recently experienced rapid development and expanded its popularity amongst the public throughout the country and the region. Today the university has a reputation for excellence in selected fields including Business administration and management, Languages, Information Technology, Tourism and Hospitality, Political Sciences, Law, and especially in Civil Engineering in which our graduates have landed in good jobs.

The university has also been selected for inclusion in the list of universities that have achieved an outstanding performance in meeting the requirements of the "ACC Assessing Committee Plan" done by a pool of ACC assessors in 2007 and was then awarded the full Accreditation Certificate from ACC for its Foundation Year Program.

As regards to international links, BBU has recently become the member of ASAIHL (Association of Southeast Asian Institutions for Higher Learning) and UMAP (University Mobility in Asia and Pacific). Joining both associations would enable the university to gain more experiences and enhance international understanding among students, staff, teachers and the management from all university members across the regions.  Plus, the university has currently incorporated its post graduate programs with the Sikkim Manipal University in India to internationalize most programs in field of science and technology.

On behalf of our management team, staff and students, I welcome you to the university and to all our study centers and wish you will take your chance to visit the university and to experience for yourself the excellent teaching, learning and research environments of Build Bright University. I am looking forward to welcoming you to join our academic community in the future.
