Angkor University

History

Only during the 9th to 12th centuries of the Angkor era, there were three established universities included Ta Prohm University (taught literature, arts, philosophy and religion), Preah Khan University (taught management and general knowledge) and Neak Poan University (taught medical treatments) in Siem Reap (until 16th century, known as Yasodharapura). Before the year of 2002, there were few high schools and technical centers in Krong Siem Reap. Only foreign languages and basic pedagogy were taught. The initiative for the establishment of the university, is attributed to H.E. Nek Oknha Seang Nam, to support the national Vision on One Province, One University, proposed by Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo Hun Sen in 2002. Angkor University (A.U.) has been officially recognized by Sub-Decree No. 28 ANKr.BK, dated 23 July 2004, of Royal Government of Cambodia. A.U. was originally composed of five faculties: Business Administration and Tourism, Science and Technology, Humanities and Foreign Languages, Sociology and Law, and Agriculture.
