The Bachelor of Arts in Khmer Literature teaches students to analyse, explain and compare all aspects of Khmer language and literature. Students gain an expert knowledge of Khmer language and literature, which forms the basis of Khmer culture and identity. As Cambodia becomes increasingly involved in exchanges with foreign countries, it is important that Cambodians understand their own culture, and use it as a starting point for building relationships with others.

During the four years of their degree, students develop advanced skills for social research, preparing them for a wide range of careers including teaching, journalism, and government work in areas such as information, tourism and culture, as well as work in non-government organizations (NGOs).
