NUM International College · Phnom Penh

Go International.

A Bachelor of Business Administration in International Business, taught in English — and a real path to study abroad.

About the College

A business degree that doesn’t end
at the border.

The BBA in International Business covers how local and international forces shape decisions in trade, finance, marketing and management. You learn the theory, then apply it through projects, case work and an internship — and, if you want it, a year abroad.
