The American University of Phnom Penh (AUPP) has officially entered a strategic partnership with Royal Group Securities PLC (RGS) through the signing of a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)—a bold move that aims to enhance both academic excellence and professional readiness for Cambodian students.
Signed by Dr. Malcolm McIver, President of AUPP, and Mr. Seng Chan Thoeun, CEO of RGS PLC, the agreement reflects a shared commitment to building bridges between education and industry. This collaboration is poised to create meaningful career opportunities, boost practical learning, and offer platforms for global-level networking.
Internships, Consulting, and Real-World Learning
At the core of the MoU is a focus on experiential learning. Students from AUPP will gain access to internship opportunities within RGS, allowing them to understand real-world operations in Cambodia’s finance and securities sector. The hands-on experience is invaluable for students pursuing careers in economics, business, or financial services.
Furthermore, AUPP faculty will join forces with RGS experts on consulting projects, promoting mutual learning and cross-sector innovation. These consulting opportunities are designed to be bidirectional, ensuring benefits for both academic and corporate stakeholders.
Immersive Programs and Guest Lectures
The partnership also outlines immersive company exposure sessions where students and staff can engage directly with RGS operations, giving them a front-row view of how Cambodia’s stock market and investment sectors function. Accompanying these sessions will be guest lectures by RGS senior management, ensuring that classroom knowledge is consistently updated with current market insights.
Together, AUPP and RGS will co-host finance-related conferences to further promote professional networking and research exchange in Cambodia.
Educating Cambodia’s Future Financial Leaders
During the MoU signing event, AUPP students participated in a special informative session on the Cambodian Securities Exchange Market (CSX). This session equipped students with a foundational understanding of trading mechanics, stock behavior, and economic impact, directly tying academic theory to real financial systems.
This strategic alliance positions AUPP as a pioneer in offering career-oriented education that aligns with national and global market trends. It also demonstrates RGS’s proactive role in cultivating Cambodia’s next generation of financial experts.
AUPP and RGS: A Vision for the Future
As the world shifts toward more integrated academic-industry models, this partnership is a strong signal that Cambodian education is evolving—and leading institutions like AUPP are at the forefront. Students can expect not only degrees but career-ready skills, global exposure, and access to prestigious industry partners.
