Welcome Message from the Director

Welcome to the Institute of Foreign Languages (IFL) of the National University of Battambang (NUBB)

In the era of internationalization and globalization, the ability to use foreign languages is crucial in connecting people around the world. This is especially important when operating at the international level. In Cambodia, the need for well-educated people with a strong background in the field of foreign languages keeps increasing from day to day. IFL is dedicated to providing professional foreign language tuition to an international standard using both native and non-native speaking educators. Most of the foreign lecturers are funded by the respective governments of their home countries. Many of tour Cambodian Staff have studied overseas.

Currently, IFL provides 6 education programs such as Bachelor of Arts in English Literature, Korean Literature, French Literature, Chinese Literature, Thai, and International Relations.
Future plans include offering Japanese to those involved in the field of international affairs.

Receiving educational materials, technical and human resource support from national and international partners such as Thailand International Cooperation Agency (TICA), Royal Thai Embassy in Cambodia, Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA), Confucius Institute of NUBB, Embassy of China, Embassy of France and international universities for our language and International Relations programs helps the IFL Team provide students with quality language education and at the same time shape their attitude and behavior so that they can perform well in all kinds of working environments. As a result, our graduates are ideally suited to work as effective language teachers in both private and public schools, translators, staff of national and international institutions, as well as to pursue further education abroad.
I would like to warmly invite all of you to join us in serving our community and country.
