Interview with Banking and Finance students

SENG Ratha (24) is studying Finance and Banking and is a year 4 student at Paññāsāstra University of Cambodia. KOEM Sreynich (21) is a year 2 student at the Center for Banking Studies, majoring in Finance and Banking.

They say that for this major you should love reading and working with numbers and be serious about your studies. You will learn how to use money more efficiently, gain knowledge about the Banking Sector and about owning a business. Moreover, your English will improve because the documents you read for research are mostly in English.

Both Ratha and Sreynich study 5 days a week, but Ratha says extra time is needed for research, presentations, group meetings, group discussions and for reviewing lessons. Ratha loves the subject of Accounting, because it is about cash, investments and things we need in everyday life, but she doesn’t like Statistics. Sreynich likes the subject of Monetary Economy best, because it provides an insight into both local and world economy.

Ratha mentions that high school subjects that are important for this major are Khmer, Morality, General Knowledge, Mathematics and English. Mathematics because the study is about numbers and English is crucial because most documents for research are in English. Sreynich also recommends paying special attention to Economics because you need Mathematics and Economics to understand the subjects in this major. Once you graduate, it will be easy to find a job.
