Interview with Business Management and Leadership students

PHAIER Vuthy (24) is a freshman at the University of Cambodia and is studying Business Management; ROTH Vanda (20) is a sophomore at Preah Sihamoniraja Buddhist University and is studying General Management.

Vuthy mentions it was difficult for him to choose a major, because he is from the province and the people around him had no experience in how to choose the right major. To gain more information, he spoke to a lot of people, such as his friends, his teachers, and students who were already attending university. Before making his decision, he considered his skills and his interests. Vuthy chose Business Management because it provides a chance to learn about effective communication and to meet new people, get new ideas and learn about business. Vanda chose General Management because he wants to learn how to successfully lead a team. The students also mention that it is easy to find a job with this major because you learn how to communicate effectively, learn about human resource management and about business.

Both students admit that they have problems with English, so in order to read the books and do research they have to spend a lot of time on improving their English. Roth Vanda adds that Accounting is a problem, because so far it is only theory and it is difficult to remember what you learn if you can’t put this knowledge into practice.

The workload varies; you need 5 days in school, but also time for assignments, reading, research and preparing for quizzes.

After graduation Vuthy would like to work in general management, Vanda would like to have a factory in his province so that people there are no longer only dependent on farming or logging and will still generate an income when climate change affects crops.

Their tips for students: Study what you like, don’t just do what others tell you to do; study hard and do some volunteering to improve your skills.
