DMU becomes first UK university to open campus in Cambodia
De Montfort University Leicester (DMU) has become the first UK university to open a campus in Cambodia.
For the first time, local and international students will be able to study and earn a UK degree at a British university campus, located in the country’s capital, Phnom Penh.
The institution will be run by DMU, in partnership with global education provider Ed Peritus, and initially offer students a number of DMU courses in business, finance and IT.

Nothing good has ever come from Leicester.
Re: First UK University Opens in Phnom Penh, Cambodia
I can see a year studying abroad for UK students being a tempting option. Many Universities offer these already.
Leicester is a bit of a dump so a year in PP might be a very tempting option. That would bring in £9k per year in fees (which is probably more than they could get locally), and the student's living costs would plummet with booze and drugs much cheaper here.
Might be a nice opportunity for someone to set up a student's accommodation and settlement agency

I looked into it and it's $10,000 a year to study, for local students. About the same as CamEd or AUPP.Doc67 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 29, 2023 12:48 pmI can see a year studying abroad for UK students being a tempting option. Many Universities offer these already.

Silence, exile, and cunning.
Re: First UK University Opens in Phnom Penh, Cambodia
And I suspect a lot cheaper than going to Leicester and paying international student rates plus all the extra living costs of being in the UK, plus flights to and from home etc. They might be onto a winner here.John Bingham wrote: ↑Fri Sep 29, 2023 1:21 pmI looked into it and it's $10,000 a year to study, for local students.

Am surprised to see that the top Indian university falls in the 201-250 bracket. Especially considering the number of Indians heading American corporations. India must be doing something right with its educational system. Just to name a few:
- Sundar Pichai - Google/Alphabet
- Satya Nadella - Microsoft
- Shantanu Narayen - Adobe
- Arvind Krishna - IBM
- Ajay Banga - World Bank
- Sanjay Mehrotra - Micron Technology

I can't be arsed to Google the rest, but the first 3 did all the important stuff in USA USA.

Re: First UK University Opens in Phnom Penh, Cambodia
Prestigious university name gets the interview, aka the chance to land a job. Sometime the alumni network gets job leads as well.
In highly competitive job fields, it could make the difference between foot in the door and no chance. And is worth the price.
But… depends on the field and the school.
Wants to work for NASA? Go to Caltech and work at Jet Propulsion Laboratories for example.
