How to Apply to Universities in Cambodia (2027): Step by Step

Cambodian private universities teaching in English charge tuition in US dollars. The American University of Phnom Penh, established in 2013, charges USD 3,000 a semester for its single degree and USD 4,500 a semester for dual degrees with US partner universities, and asks for TOEFL iBT 79, IELTS 6.0 or Duolingo 110. Cambodia's official visa sites do not list a student visa category.

  2. Meet the English requirement with TOEFL iBT 79, IELTS 6.0, Duolingo 110, Cambridge 169 or AUPP's placement test.
  3. Confirm the visa type with a Cambodian embassy and the university, because official visa pages list no student category.
