MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN

At Faculty of Business Administration, we offer an education with skills you need to solve complex business issues in a range of environments with a challenging, rigorous education, and with support, coaching, and personalized attention. We believe strongly in the value of business administration and statistics in the analysis of all business problems. And it is reflected in our business in Cambodian society.

More and more companies run their businesses in Cambodia based on a deep understanding of business environment with a heavy quantitative focus. They hire people with a deeper understanding of those analytic tools to better understand patterns in consumption and the movements of goods and what motivates and drives those patterns.

We will develop deep relationships with outstanding faculty members in the area of business administration who have been creating both great research and new classroom content to help businesses cope with the data deluge.

Today’s competitive business, local, regional, continental and global, demands a different kind of business faculty preparation. Get your degrees in both Academic and Professional programmes from Faculty of Business Administration, Build Bright University. 

Sincerely,

Ou Sothary

Dean
