I. Background:
RULE is the first higher education institution
in Cambodia. It was originally found in 1948 as the National Institute
of Law, Politics and Economics. 1975 was an important year for the
history of the university, the Institute became the Faculty by the
Royal Decree. Year 2003 is one of the most important years in the
university's history. The Faculty of Law and Economics was reorganized
as a university, under the name of Royal University of Law and
Economics RULE). The name of the university still bears the words of
Law and Economics (RULE). The name of the university still bears the
words of Law and Economics is to indicate that the two disciplines are
at the core of the university training program. However, other
disciplines of social and natural sciences, such as language and
computer sciences are being added in our curriculum. Currently, the
university has four faculties, two graduate schools and one center.
RULE still maintains her position as the premier national university
and the leading university in the area of law, economic and business
education.
II. Objective and Roles:
Realizing that the public sector and
private sector are the two pillars in supporting the development of
Cambodia, the university set its broader objective. Traditionally, the
university's sole objective was to develop human resources for the
public sector. But now, the objective enlarged to include the private
sector as well. Various training programs in business administration
were established and rapidly developed and recognized. Year after
year, the university had been proud of sending many talented
individuals to both public and private sector. The university's alumni
now are working in various government's ministries, private companies
and international organizations. Beside the roles of supplying
competent human resources to Cambodia's society, RULE serves another
role as gateway of Cambodia to the world. This role is proved by a
vast cooperation with international institutions and universities
through the exchange of students and faculty members.
