Limkokwing University starts enrolling students for school year 2012-2013, from 27 August 2012.
Limkokwing University is renowned as one of the top university in Cambodia. The establishment of this university is a part of Malaysia’s strong bonding with Cambodia is best exemplified in the setting up of the Limkokwing University campus in Phnom Penh. By plunging its roots into this country Malaysia, through Limkokwing University, has made a strong commitment to building the human capital of Cambodia. The University felt a need to do so because Cambodia, like so many other countries around the world, possesses an education system that is inadequate to meet the challenges of the 21st century.
Education is an important key player to help the development of country. A representative of the university said that, Tan Sri Dato’ Sri Dr Lim Kok Wing brings to Cambodia a new education wave that will provide the right kind of skills and knowledge for its people. The kind of innovative education will nurture the inner talents, skills and capabilities of all Cambodians for the betterment of their future.
Limkokwing is a global university with campuses in both East and West providing flexible pathways where the environment is right to build skills, talent and knowledge in those who seek to excel and succeed in an aggressive global business and political environment.
Tan Sri Dato’ Sri Dr. Lim Kok Wing decided to establish a Campus in Cambodia because of his commitment to help the Royal Government of Cambodia to connect more actively with the global economy. With more investors attracted to Cambodia, to expand economic activities related to manufacturing and tourism, there will be a demand for graduates with skills in the use of digital technology.
Rumchek Sotheavy, a fourth-year design student said, she picked Limkokwing, because of its international gateway.
