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

An International Business Program

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.

The college was founded in 2011. Every course is taught in English, classes are capped at 34 students, and half the lecturers are Cambodian while half are international. Many hold degrees from abroad or run their own businesses.

NUM is fully accredited by the Accreditation Committee of Cambodia, ranked in WURI's Top 400 Innovative Universities, and is the only Cambodian member of the Global Business School Network, alongside memberships in AUN and AUF.
