Interview with Business Administration students

RA Phany is 26 years old and studies business administration at PUC. She decided to enrol in this particular major as she wants to start her own business in the future. Her time at the university is quite diverse. It depends on the projects what the workload is like, but in general she spends 3 to 4 days at school. Her fellow students, HONG Koemheang (24) and TAO Kress (27) add that they also have to study at home. What Phany likes most about the major are the different leadership skills, working on various business plans, and the marketing classes. The business plan subjects teach her the exact steps of running a business. The financial subjects are a bit hard for her. She thinks that mathematics is an important high school subject when you want to follow this major. The other two students agree, because financial subjects depend on mathematics.

Her tip for you: If students want to study this major, you should ask yourself “what am I good at?” “What are the main points?” and “Do I love this major?” Koemheang adds that students should do some voluntary work in this field to find out by experience if this major is a good fit.

Would you like to learn about managing teams and people in an effective way? Or do you want to discover different leadership styles? A major in Business Management and Leadership focuses on analysing and solving business issues.

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.

Interview with an Entrepreneurship student
