Introduction

The Bachelor of Arts in French is an intensive theoretical and practical degree that arms students with the knowledge, language and professional abilities they require to undertake careers using the French language. As part of the vocational focus of this degree, students choose at least one elective from the fields of teaching, translation or arts applied to tourism as an area of professional specialization. Upon passing their examination in year four, students will graduate with professional skills as well as language abilities.

The Professional Bachelor's Degree in Foreign Language Applied to Tourism offers students the opportunity to develop the knowledge and management skills that hospitality and tourism professionals require, but also to provide the context and the socio-political analysis that is increasingly needed in a fast-changing environment worldwide. Hospitality and tourism are closely-related areas of an economic and social phenomenon that have developed a critical role in the world economy. In Cambodia, tourism is constantly growing and there is a strong need for adequately-trained staff.

Successful graduates of this course will be equipped to seek employment in one of a variety of hospitality and tourism fields from marketing and management, through to an involvement in the growing area of sustainable tourism. These courses offer a sophisticated program, which has been developed in cooperation with the Embassy of France (Cultural Affairs and Cooperation Service), Phnom Penh. Proficient graduates are given the opportunity to continue their Master's and Doctoral degrees in French Studies or in other disciplines overseas, in universities in France, Canada, Belgium, Vietnam, etc. through scholarships, including those granted by the AUF (Agence Universitaire de la Francophonie).
