Date: 2023-10-04T18:27:07

On October 4, HE UENO Atsushi, Ambassador of Japan to the Kingdom of Cambodia, visited AUPP campus and shared with students and staff his views on Japan’s relations with Cambodia, ASEAN, and the Quad. In this 70th anniversary of Cambodia-Japan relations he discussed the significance of Japanese development assistance to Cambodia and the value of its investments.

Today, Japan is the second largest contributor of development assistance to Cambodia and the fourth in commercial investment. He stated that the relations between both countries were historically deep, meaningful and of mutual benefit. He also celebrated the 50th anniversary of Japan’s relations with ASEAN, which have recently evolved into a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. Furthermore, he discussed some of the principles of Japanese foreign policy toward ASEAN, including the Fukuda doctrine which states that: Japan will never be a military power, Japan will establish “Heart-to-Heart” relationship with ASEAN, and that Japan and ASEAN are equal partners. Regarding the Quad, he emphasized that it was not a military alliance, but an entity focused primarily on opening and maintaining dialogue on topics of common interest to the partners, all of which are democratic countries located in the Indo-Pacific.

HE UENO concluded his remarks by stating his delight in sharing with students, as a means for deepening trust and understanding through people-to-people relations.

We would like to express our gratitude to the Japan Ambassador to Cambodia H.E for giving his valuable time and insight to the AUPP Community!

AUPP IT Faculty, Mr. Morokot Sakal, Participated in 73rd International Astronautical Congress (IAC) in Paris, France
Date: 2022-09-29T11:48:00

Mr. Morokot Sakal, a lecturer in the IT Faculty of AUPP, has recently participated in the 73rd International Astronautical Congress (IAC) in Paris, France, from September 18-22, 2022.

During the congress, Mr. Morokot had an opportunity to present his research work titled “Starlink for ASEAN: A Changemaker in the Race toward SDGs?”, co-authored with Dr. Riccardo Corrado, Chair of the ICT (Information & Communications Technology) Program of AUPP, and Dr. Maximilien Berthet, a researcher in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics of the University of Tokyo.

The objective of the presented research work was to develop a framework to assess Starlink’s potential in helping ASEAN member states in the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The proposed framework can be used by regional policymakers to decide whether to invest in Starlink for full regional connectivity, providing a boost in the race to fulfill the SDGs.

Mr. Morokot stated that he was glad to attend and present their work in person at the congress for the first time after the pandemic. “During the congress, I was able to meet with many colleagues from graduate school who are now working at their countries’ space agencies, space startup companies, and research institutes around the world. Paris is a beautiful city, filled with diverse architectural styles, and a long fascinating history. I would also like to acknowledge my co-authors (Dr. Riccardo and Dr. Maximilien) and the Cambodian Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, for making this wonderful trip possible.”

IAC is an annual event attended by the heads and senior executives of the world’s space agencies (NASA, ESA, JAXA, etc.), space companies, researchers, and students from more than 80 countries, to discuss the latest space technology and developments in academia and industry. In addition, Starlink, operated by SpaceX, is a satellite constellation system envisioned to achieve global internet connectivity coverage at an affordable price.
Meet Our Brilliant Alumnus, Liv Meng Hong
Date: 2022-09-29T11:41:00

Meng Hong graduated from the American University of Phnom Penh (AUPP) in 2022 with a dual degree in Business Administration (University of Arizona). He is now enrolled in the University College London (UCL)’s postgraduate program, majoring in Banking and Digital Finance MSc.

“I am currently enrolled in University College London (UCL)’s postgraduate program, Banking and Digital Finance MSc which is starting this September. This program focuses on all aspects of the financial sector by giving students a broader view into the international banking and financial system from both practical and theoretical points of view. As a prospective UCL’s postgraduate student, I am looking forward to building upon my current knowledge of finance and exploring the use of technological solutions in today’s banking industry like the use of blockchain technology and artificial intelligence.

My first advice to all fellow students at AUPP is to understand yourself. You need to assess your strengths and weaknesses so that you can identify which specialization or area of focus suits you the most. Studying a subject that you are enthusiastic about is particularly important because it will have a significant impact on the satisfaction you would have when doing your master’s. You can do so by simply observing your grades in subjects that you have taken at AUPP and do a self-reflection with it. My second advice is to start preparing yourself early. Remember that it is never early to start your master’s degree application process. All universities, regardless of their prestige, require applicants to show some extent of commitment to your master studies. You can enjoy a slight advantage over others if you prepare yourself well. You can show that you are the right candidate by starting from smaller things like ensuring you use correct spellings in your personal statement to getting straight A in your current courses. Lastly, do not forget that everyone lives differently which means that we all live in different timelines. You do not have to start your master studies right away after your graduation just because every friend of yours is doing so. On the other hand, if you are sure that you are ready for higher education, do not hesitate. Believe in yourself and submit that application to your dream university! Good luck in your future journeys and make your family proud!”
Meet Our Alumnus, Mr. Prum Metkridy!
Date: 2022-07-04T11:37:00

Congratulations to our alumnus, Metkridy Prum, who recently graduated from the University of California, Irvine (UCI), top 10 public university in the U.S.!

Metkridy graduated from the American University of Phnom Penh (AUPP) in 2018 with dual degrees (AUPP & University of Arizona) in business administration. He began working in the banking and education sectors where he gained experience, learnt about his passion, and developed his strengths. He chose the Master of Innovation and Entrepreneurship at Paul Merage School of Business (UCI) because of its rigorous academic curriculum and extensive resources.

Upon graduation from UCI, Metkridy was also awarded a Dean’s Scholar for his outstanding academic record. He said, “I owe my success to each member of my family, friends, and the AUPP community. They were very supportive and always encouraged me to challenge myself. The AUPP community played a significant role in my current achievement. The university, professors, staff, and friends helped built strong foundations in my academic, social, and career aspects. These three pillars helped me achieve the best results while working and taking my graduate program.”

During his graduate study, Metkridy and a co-founder, Sok Sonita (AUPP ’22), created a platform on Facebook and Telegram called “Opensource for Management and Leadership” that offers management insights and leadership topics. Metkridy mentioned that “together, (they) noticed that as a student, employee, manager, and leader, it is difficult to find contents about management, leadership, and entrepreneurship in Khmer language and relevant to the local context. Thus, this platform aims to enrich our audiences’ knowledge to help them make better decisions in their study, work, and life. Although, there is much more work to be done to achieve this milestone, (they) felt like (they) are on the right track.”

Metkridy is returning to Cambodia and continuing his career in the education sector and entrepreneurship. He looks forward to applying the knowledge gained to develop Cambodia through startups and businesses. AUPP wishes him the best of luck in his next journey.
Thorn Visal’s Reasons Why He Chose to Study Law at AUPP!
Date: 2022-06-29T11:35:00

1. Why did you choose law?

I find Law to be a suitable major for me because I enjoy dissecting, and evaluating certain topics by using laws, logic, and critical thinking. In addition, it is also a major that provides financial security and opportunities such as traveling and connecting with people from different fields, which I appreciate.

2.Tell us more about your AUPP academic experience?

AUPP is unique in the sense that it offers a dual degree program. Professors here are highly qualified and open-minded. The environment here is diverse. Professors are from different backgrounds making academic experiences more enjoyable. The atmosphere on campus is serene. There are many club activities to participate in, such as soccer club, dance club, and art club. Those activity clubs are beneficial for students to socialize and relax after classes.

3.What is your recommendation/advice for the recent high school graduates who want to choose your current major?

Choose what you love and what you are passionate about. That is my recommendation for new high school graduates. University is a test of endurance, patience, and hard work. There will be ups and downs, so by doing what you love it keeps you going. It provides incentives for you to keep moving forward.

4. How does AUPP help you to succeed?

AUPP encourages students to use critical thinking and creative thinking skills, think outside of the box, and assess situations, to look at things from different perspectives. Furthermore, AUPP also pushes us to be independent and to take charge of our schedules. Students here can work at their own pace.

5.Why should new students choose AUPP?

Quality education, high standards, and professionalism are the strong points for new students who consider choosing AUPP. AUPP is one of the few universities which allow students to obtain internationally recognized degrees locally by offering a dual degree program partnering with universities from the US, such as The University of Arizona and Fort Hays State University.
