Introduction
The degrees in pure and applied mathematics equip Cambodian students with the skills and competencies necessary to contribute to the development of Cambodia as teachers, statisticians, scientific managers, actuaries, system analysts and so on. After two years general education, students choose their specialisation in third year. Students who aspire to be teachers take the pure mathematics course, while students preparing for employment in the private sector choose applied mathematics.
Background
Following the devastation of the education system during the years of the Khmer Rouge regime, the degree in mathematics was originally designed to train large numbers of secondary school teachers to meet the needs of all upper-high-schools in Cambodia. As the Cambodian economy developed in the late nineties, RUPP has recognised the need to prepare Cambodian students for careers in business and industry. The introduction of new courses in modern applied mathematics is already equipping many students with relevant mathematical skills and competencies.
Admission
Candidates must have a High School Certificate and sit the National University Entrance Examination on Mathematics and Khmer Culture.
Assessment
Students are assessed on written examinations throughout their degree.
ResourcesThe Hun Sen library contains a large section of recently published advanced university textbooks in mathematics in both English and French. The department has also translated twenty important texts into Khmer, which students can access. A small computer laboratory with appropriate mathematical software is also available for students.

general information
Introduction
The Department of Chemistry offers two degrees - a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry, and a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry. Students study the same course for two years and specialize in their third and fourth years.
Both courses offer students theoretical knowledge and practical skills in chemistry. Graduates in chemistry often pursue a career in the academic field as teachers or researchers. However, some graduates choose to develop careers in the chemical and industrial sectors, in chemical laboratories, and in factories such as in brewing, noodle production or in quality control. These areas are currently in high demand due to an increase number of factories in Cambodia. Most students choose to study one more year at the Faculty of Pedagogy to qualify as teachers.
Background
Chemistry was included in the Faculty of Science that began in 1964. From 1975-1980, as with all other forms of higher education, there were no classes in chemistry. From 1980-1989, when the University reopened as a teacher-training college, students were also taught to become chemistry teachers to serve the need in high schools. In 1990, a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry began with a new curriculum focusing more on applied chemistry to prepare students for careers other than teachers.
Over the past year the department has had the voluntary assistance from Dr. Sambath Chung, a professor from America, who helped develop the biochemistry laboratory and establish an internship program at the Pasteur Institute where students have been able to perform practical research experiments.
Assessment
Students sit examinations throughout their degree. A major examination is sat at the end of the fourth year to determine the student's final grade.
Admission
All applicants must have a High School Certificate and pass a National University Entrance Examination on General Culture and Chemistry. Each year approximately 40 students are chosen for the English stream and 25 students for the French stream.

Introduction
Knowledge of environmental science is important in a world of continually changing environments, but particularly in Cambodia, where development takes place without sustainable planning. In addition, the lack of implementation and enforcement of environmental laws is another obstacle to environmental protection and conservation. Therefore human resources in environmental science are vitally needed to push works toward maintaining safe, healthy and sustainable living standards for the whole population of Cambodia.
In Cambodia, there are many jobs waiting for students with a degree in Environmental Science, including teaching, work at the Ministry of Environment or relevant NGOs and private sector.
The Department of Environmental Science offers students a multi-disciplinary approach to the knowledge and understanding of complex environmental issues and concerns. The 4-year degree provides an opportunity for students to learn how to conduct and investigate environmental issues.
Background
In 1993, the Royal Government of Cambodia established the Ministry of Environment with the aim of trying to curtail and control Cambodia's many environmental problems. However, at the time, there was no center where Cambodians could be trained in environmental management.
To meet this demand, in 1995, with assistance from the Canadian Embassy, the Royal University of Phnom Penh ran a one-year Postgraduate Certificate in Environmental Studies. Experts from non-governmental and international organisations and government agencies came to voluntarily lecture with the aim of training the students in turn to become lecturers and activists in the environmental field. Eleven of these subsequently received scholarships to study Master Degrees in Environmental Science at the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) in Thailand. When these graduates returned to Phnom Penh seven of them established Cambodia's first undergraduate program in Environmental Science at RUPP. The first batch began in 2000.
