The Thai Language short course is a non-degree course at the Institute of Foreign Languages at the Royal University of Phnom Penh. It has been developed especially for selected students already studying at RUPP across all departments.

The need for Thai speakers in Cambodia is increasing with growing investment, the expansion of Cambodia’s tourism industry and the expansion of the Thai-Cambodian relationship. The need for Thai speakers will continue in the foreseeable future. Students possessing Thai Language skills are able to apply for various jobs within the Thai public and private sector.

RUPP’s Thai language course consists of four levels: Level 1, for beginners studying the Thai basic course; Level 2, the Thai Pre-intermediate course; Level 3, the Thai intermediate course; and Level 4, the Thai intermediate course 2. Each level consists of 36 weeks and 180 hours.
