International Business, beyond the classroom
The iBBA in International Business was built to give students a solid grounding in the field, and to prepare them to become effective professionals in a working world where globalisation is simply part of life.
Inside the National University of Management, on the main campus by Wat Phnom in central Phnom Penh.
Since the college opened inside NUM, it has taught entirely in English, pairing classroom theory with real practice. The aim has never changed: understand how local and global forces shape the decisions businesses make, then learn to act on them.
Everyone starts in a shared Foundation Year, then specialises in International Business. The four-year degree runs through trade, marketing, financial management and strategy, in classes small enough that lecturers know every student by name.
Foundation first
A common Foundation Year builds core business knowledge before students specialise in International Business.
Taught by practitioners
International and Cambodian faculty, most holding master’s degrees from abroad, teach alongside guest speakers from industry.
Learning by doing
Internships, company visits, field trips, case work and competitions turn theory into practice every semester.
Built to go further
Graduates move into trade, banking, consulting and multinationals, or continue into graduate study such as an MBA.
Cultivating innovative leaders, managers, and entrepreneurs for Cambodia and the world through hands-on practice and research.
Connecting you with the resources and opportunities to advance your career and business goals, so you can help advance your family and society as a whole.
