In terms of its fast moving and diverse training programs offered to both graduate and undergraduate studies, Build Bright University (known in short as BBU) is one of the leading universities in Cambodia. Build Bright training programs are offered to meet the needs of learners and researchers under local and international context. BBU has become a community itself, rather than university.

Community based campuses at most remote provinces are BBU's strategic locations,

where education services can be transferred to serve the benefits of the community  members as a whole. In assuring the proper functioning of the university and the effectiveness of delivering  education quality to all community members, BBU has provided variety of services to support and facilitate the process of teaching, learning, and researching on and off  campuses to all teachers, learners, and researchers who benefit from participating in all university's activities. Student supporting services are part of the university services that are critical to sustaining the university's best performance and quality assurance. The services are currently performed by the Department of Student Affairs, one of the six university's functional Departments. These include Student Affairs, Academic, Quality Assurance,  Administration, Legal Affairs, and Accounting & Finance Departments. Based on the university's management structures, Departments related to student affairs are under the management of Vice Rector Student Affairs appointed by the University Board of Management, where as the Department of Student Affairs comprises  four main operating OFFICES that provide services on a day-to-day basis to support and facilitate student  activities during and after their university's lifetime. Figure-1 explains the management structure of the Department of Student Affairs. The Department is supervised by a Director of Department who plays an executive role in running all work flows on a day-to-day basis with each Head and Deputy Head Office and coordinating these works with Mr. Vice Rector of Student Affairs. Vice Rector of Student Affairs takes the management responsibility, management decision making, and leadership role in planning and developing student-related policies, procedures, and strategic  planning for all activities that lead to  achieving academic excellence, professional researches, and success of other scholarly activities.

     Career Information Service
Students are provided with updated information on self-assessment tools, career options and job vacancies, which are posted on the university's job information boards at each campus. In most cases, students are contacted by phone or by email directly from the Department of Student Affairs for their interview and training placements. Students registered with BBU may also take advantage of the Resume and CV referral service to access employers who are interested in BBU students but not intending to come to the university campuses.
 
     Public Relations Service
The Office has worked closely with other institutions including private organizations, public institutions,and nongovernmental organizations to promote the relationship with these institutions and to facilitate Build Bright students to participate all kinds of social and public events. Remarkably, we have sent our students to attend several dozens of social and public events a year. This includes conferences, seminars, trainings, public debates, workshops, meetings, TV shows, etc.
 
     Academic Information Service
Part of information provided to students is related to academic queries or complaints due to problems or difficulties students might have in getting access to what they need. The Office will direct all academic concerns to the Department of Academic Affairs for solutions.
