CREATIVE ARTS PROGRAMS
The new School of Creative Arts, with its offerings of three Bachelor’s of Fine Arts degree programs, was recognized by MoEYS in April 2018. Students in these programs at The University of Cambodia are provided with both breadth and depth in their chosen major; this is augmented by the possibility of collaborative projects with the University’s College of Media and Communications (see Section XVII) and SEA-TV (see Section III.4.i) to further expand their horizons.
Multiple opportunities abound for graduates as a result of the basic but enduring practical skills acquired, not only in the Arts themselves but also in relation to managerial, educational and other avenues such as those related to research and the promotion of Khmer culture, including through tourism.
The School offers Bachelor of Fine Arts degrees in the following subjects:
- Dance Arts (AFA, BFA)
- Dramatic Arts (AFA, BFA)
- Music and Song (AFA,BFA)
All programs are offered in the Khmer and International tracks, with the following applying for the former: please see Section V.3 for differences between the two with regard to English language courses.
