Background
Japanese-language education was first introduced to the Royal University of Phnom Penh by a group of voluntary teachers from the Japan Overseas Cooperation Volunteers (JOCV). Initially, a non-degree course was offered to any students of the university who wished to learn Japanese. In April 1994, the inaugural class of 44 students began studies, growing to over 100 by 1998. In accordance, the Royal University of Phnom Penh formally established a Department of Japanese, which was officially recognised by the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports on May 8, 2003. This new department prepared two complete 4-year degree courses, the Bachelor of Education (Japanese Language) and Bachelor of Arts in Japanese, which commenced in 2005. In addition, the university's commitment to foreign language learning has allowed the Cambodia-Japan Cooperation Centre (CJCC) to continue providing non-degree Japanese language courses for students from other departments.
