Background
Build Bright University (Sihanouk Ville Campus) is located in the town center with the spacious compound of nearly 2,100m2 and with very comfortable and convenient building and sufficient equipment. It is one of the nine campuses, called BBU V, operating in Cambodia. BBU V, was recognized by Prakas No 562 of the Ministry of Education, Youth, and Sport. It started its academic activities in 2003 in order to offer higher education and vocational training services to students in the southwest provinces, such as Sihanouk Ville, Koh Kong, Kampot, and Kep Ville. Based on the need of the people in the provinces, we are offering different levels of education ranging from vocational training to master degrees. The campus has three faculties, namely Faculty of Business Management, Faculty of Information Technology, and Faculty of Education and Languages and Master Degree.
Geographical Location
Sihanouk Ville, 230 km from Phnom Penh, is located on the coast of Cambodia, about halfway between Thailand and Vietnam. It is bordering Koh Kong on the North, Kampot on the East, and the Bay of Thailand on the west and south. Sihanouk Ville is receiving a massive transfusion of foreign investment funds and has been allocated for major tourist 19 development. For many years, Sihanouk Ville's pristine, peaceful, white sandy beaches have been a secret to a few hardy travelers.
Build Bright University decided to establish its campus in Sihanouk Ville obviously because of the wonderful potential and great opportunity for development. The campus offers master, bachelor and associate degrees, and vocational training courses which could help enhance the capabilities of students as they face their future career in the city of golden beaches.

Educational Focus
Sihanouk Ville is considered as one of the three important cities in Cambodia. This city is well known to all Cambodian because of its biggest seaport known as Port Authority of Sihanouk Ville and the beautiful beach with clean white sand. The government has signed contracts with NGOs as well as taken loans with low interest rate to develop the city. As a result, the Japanese government has granted some loans for Port Authority of Sihanouk Ville to expand the port and develop some zones called the special economic zone. At the same time, the government has planned to renovate the Kang Keng International Airport as well.
Furthermore, Chevron Texaco, which is considered as the biggest oil company in the world, declares that they found a very precious natural resource in Cambodia Sea. This seems to be very good opportunity for people in Sihanouk Ville as well as all Cambodians. There is hope that employment rate in this city will rise after all projects are successfully accomplished. As the project is going on its way, the government declares that one resource will be urgently needed to support these entire projects and this is the human resource. To meet this challenge, BBU, which is considered as a leading university in Cambodia, has been doing all its best to produce the qualified human resources.
Build Bright University, Sihanouk Ville Campus, commits to develop the regional qualified graduates who will enhance organizational performance for the growth and sustainable development of economies and societies in Sihanouk Ville in particular and the whole Cambodia in general. Currently, there are three Faculties that are already in operation such as Faculty of Business Management, Faculty of Education and Language, and Faculty of Information Technology.
