IIC University of Technology

Curtin University of Technology

International Trade Center

One of three faculties of the Institute, the Faculty of Commerce offers modern programs of study at international level across a wide range of discipline areas. The nature of commercial activity is rapidly changing in Cambodia and the challenge facing universities such as IIC is to design, teach and conduct research in areas relevant to establishing a progressive, technologically-advanced capability in each of the primary areas of Cambodian commerce.

Therefore, the new design focus of the degree program is based upon a structure of strengthening knowledge, expertise and access to the latest developments in disciplines such as accounting, finance, banking, sharemarkets, human resource management, tourism, logistics, procurement, legal frameworks, marketing, public relations, advertising, management practice, business leadership, micro and macro economics, information systems and entrepreneurship.

Many of these disciplines have their origin in Western business and economic history. Indeed many are the cornerstones of the globalized economy. For Cambodia , this means careful adaptation of commercial theory and practice to best meet the nation's emerging economic, social and regional needs. Cambodia is increasingly assuming status as a nation within ASEAN, so it is natural that the focus of studies in business practice should concentrate upon the priorities of Khmer association with neighboring countries centered on regional trading potential.

This potential could well be argued in quite specific terms – such as attracting direct foreign investment through industries such as tourism, but equally it is true that Khmer commercial activity should aim to strengthen institutions of local business, particularly in the banking and finance sector.

Likewise, for any economy to perform along a growth pattern, internal mechanisms improving the effectiveness of business operations – such as HRM, logistics, information systems and legal frameworks – are vital. Expertise in these areas is of fundamental importance for Cambodia 's current phase of development.

There are many career options open to graduates with a commerce degree, both in terms of building Cambodia 's profile regionally and internationally as well as the internal strengthening of the nation's business institutions through high-level expertise in managerial effectiveness.

IIC is committed to producing graduates who have both depth of knowledge in their major fields of study and breadth of knowledge outside their majors, the best graduates having mastery of specific subject matter within business fields, yet able to practice their specialization within the wider aspects of the economy, society and government. To achieve this outcome, the commerce degree at IIC is structured upon a pattern of common core units, specialized majors, electives and an in-depth final paper.
