By integrating core disciplines in economics, digital finance, data analytics, smart city systems, and entrepreneurship, graduates are equipped to lead, build, and govern the digital ecosystems shaping Cambodia and the wider region. This program is built for those who believe that technology, when guided by knowledge and purpose, can transform economies and improve lives.
Program
Description
The Bachelor's degree in Digital Economy is a four-year , 120-credit undergraduate program offered by the Faculty of Digital Economy at the National University of Management.
The program takes an intentionally interdisciplinary approach, weaving together economics, technology, finance, public policy, and entrepreneurship into a coherent and forward-looking course of study. Beginning with foundational concepts in microeconomics, computer science, and critical thinking, students progressively advance into specialized areas such as blockchain technology, artificial intelligence, big data analytics, smart city systems, digital banking, and e-commerce. Alongside technical and analytical training, the curriculum cultivates communication, design thinking, research skills, and ethical reasoning — ensuring graduates are not only technically capable but professionally well-rounded.
The inclusion of project-based learning across five semesters, combined with a final internship and thesis, bridges academic knowledge with real-world practice. French language courses further strengthen graduates' multilingual readiness for regional and international careers.
