Background

The DOS at the Faculty of Social Science and Humanities, RUPP was instituted to aid in the rehabilitation of Cambodia’s society that has suffered two decades long of social conflict and civil war. The degree of Bachelor of Arts in Sociology was established in 1994 under the direction of the Ministry of Education, Youth, and Sports with financial assistance from the Italian NGO, the New Humanity Organization, and technical support from the Bologna University of Italian. DOS was established to equip Cambodian students with the knowledge and skills necessary to assist the government in making informed policy decisions and strategies for alleviating social problems in Cambodia.

Over the past few decades, DOS staffs have been involved in research, capacity building, curriculum development and various trainings in conjunction with the New Humanity Organization, Italy and the Heinrich-Boll Foundation as well as other universities and NGOs, including World Vision, National University of Shishu-Kan, the Japan Institute of Labor and the Sogang University of South Korea.
