Students enrolled in the dual programmes benefit from the following perks:

Two accredited diplomas: one from Cambodia and one from a partner university in Western Europe, leading to global recognition.
International faculty: students will be trained by local and international professors who hold tenure positions in their home universities. This provides the benefits of an international education without leaving the Kingdom.
Exchange programmes: unique opportunities for exchange programmes all over the world, including in prestigious institutions such as Sciences Po Paris and Audencia Business School.
International access: students are registered within the partner universities in Western Europe for digital student services, including access to e-libraries.

“All of the dual degree programmes proposed at RULE are financially accessible, with our vision being ingrained in a meritocratic society in which dedication and ingenuity in students are valued above any other considerations. With RULE as a public university, we provide a service of public interest,” noted Mesmann.
