We offer a diverse range of courses, professional trainings, and specialized workshops:
- Expand intellectual horizons through our enrichment courses

Having been formally established in 2003, the Department of Japanese at the Royal University of Phnom Penh is the first institution in Cambodia to provide a four-year bachelor course specializing in the Japanese Language. The department offers students a choice of two degree courses through which to gain advanced knowledge in Japanese. The Bachelor of Education program trains students to become professional teachers of Japanese, and prepares them for research studies in universities abroad, whereas a Bachelor of Arts in Japanese for Business degree equips students with a sufficient knowledge of Japanese for employment in business and other organizations.
Like all students at the Royal University of Phnom Penh, those studying in the Department of Japanese spend their first year taking a number of General Education subjects towards a Certificate of Foundation Year. In the next two academic years, units of study focus on Japanese language and culture, in order to prepare students for majors, which are undertaken during the final year of the degree. Students choose one major, and also study electives to build their knowledge in areas of particular interest.
Background
Example
The irruption of Human Resource Management (HRM) as a strategic element for quality development of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) is relatively recent. Few decades back and until our days, HR approaches just focused on staff recruitment, employment contracts and payment
Japanese-language education was first introduced to the Royal University of Phnom Penh by a group of voluntary teachers from the Japan Overseas Cooperation Volunteers (JOCV). Initially, a non-degree course was offered to any students of the university who wished to learn Japanese. In April 1994, the inaugural class of 44 students began studies, growing to over 100 by 1998. In accordance, the Royal University of Phnom Penh formally established a Department of Japanese, which was officially recognised by the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports on May 8, 2003. This new department prepared two complete 4-year degree courses, the Bachelor of Education (Japanese Language) and Bachelor of Arts in Japanese, which commenced in 2005. In addition, the university’s commitment to foreign language learning has allowed the Cambodia-Japan Cooperation Centre (CJCC) to continue providing non-degree Japanese language courses for students from other departments
