Annual Report 2012
Message from Chairman
This 2012 Annual Report is prepared to provide all members of the Build Bright community with
information about university operations and progress made during and previous years. It is part of a
commitment to provide greater transparency in the development of the university and its governance.
The university council (board of trustees) is the senior governing body and is responsible for
establishing the legal, academic, and administrative framework for the university. It is responsible for
setting strategic directions of the university to operate within a short-range (1 year), medium-range
(3 to 5 years), and long-range (10 to 20 years) plans.
It is important to note that the university has passed its irst signi icant milestone (the previous
10-years development plan), which began more than 10 years ago, and is enduring its continuous
journey of excellence to reach the next milestone (the forward 10-years development plan) by 2020.
Even though the fast changing global higher education landscape brings great deal of challenges for
the university, it also creates boundless opportunities for us. To transform these opportunities into
creative and innovative realities, the university council, through its both academic and administrative
boards, other specialized committees and closed partnership with management, provides guidance and
direction on key strategic issues. These include recruitment of top-academic and top-administrative
and academic members, development of an excellent teaching/learning/research infrastructures,
continuous improvements of good governance practices and procedures, ensuring transparency in
all academic matters, practical and sound management of the university’s inances, and cultivating a
vibrant entrepreneurial community.
On behalf of our council members, I would like to thank all university’s members for supporting our
efforts to ensure that Build Bright continues to succeed in the years to come. I am well convinced that
our university is reaching upward and outward, and is contributing to the advancement of higher
education for the continuous development in the best interests of its students, faculty, staff and alumni
in harmony with local and international communities.

 Employability Survey:
The accumulation of human capital is considered as one of the basic engines of economic
growth. In this context, higher education plays a critical role in the society. However, the quality of
higher education, i.e., the responsiveness of the system to the needs of students, employers and other
stakeholders is very important.
Employability skills are the basic academic, personal and teamwork skills that employers expect from
workers and which they expect to be developed by the education system. However, employability
skills are best developed when these skills are integrated across the curriculum. The views of the
university graduates, teachers and employers on the employability issues and their linkage with
course curriculums and the quality of teaching are the benchmark for the stakeholders of higher
education institutions. A study has been undertaken to know the employability of bachelor alumni
and the relevance of the course curriculums of programs of Build Bright University (BBU). Both
quantitative and qualitative approaches have been used to analyze the data in the study. For this,
relevant information has been collected from 502 bachelor alumni. In addition to this, 20 teachers
teaching in different undergraduate programs of the university and 10 employers of organizations
where BBU bachelor alumni are working have been interviewed for the above purpose.
The indings of the study show that there were a little improvement in the feelings of about 53 per cent
alumni, signi icant improvement of 24 per cent alumni and no improvement of 21 per cent alumni after
their graduation from BBU on the aspects such as motivation, con idence in abilities, ambition in the
career, practical knowledge, satisfaction in work and change in behavior. The work skills of the alumni
were found to have improved somewhat as viewed by 71 per cent surveyed alumni. 40 per cent and
75 percent alumni expressed that, in the undergraduate programs, BBU had experienced and quali ied
teachers respectively. 91 per cent of the alumni were found to be employed after the completion of BBU
degree, and there was a fall of around 27 percentage points in the unemployment rate of the students.
On an average, 78 per cent of the employed alumni had the opinion that there were improvement in
job position, increase in salary, getting of better job, and job matching with educational quali ication
after they completed the degrees from BBU. About 59 per cent of the alumni viewed that the degrees
of different undergraduate programs were relevant to some extent as per the market needs. The
percentage of alumni having the opinions of good quality teaching in the undergraduate programs
was 69. According to the views of 60 per cent undergraduate teachers, the learning capacities of the
students were good. Around 81 per cent of the alumni expressed that the facilities, such as library,
classrooms, laboratory, supporting service and accessibility provided by the University were good.

Accreditation
The Accreditation Committee of Cambodia (ACC) is a mandated institution that administers
accreditation in Bachelor degree and/or higher degrees delivered by the HEIs in the Kingdom of
Cambodia so that the HE in Cambodia will meet the international standard. This concept of Quality
Assurance is new in Cambodia and all the HEIs work hard to meet the ACC requirements and be
accredited.
To achieve this goal, Build Bright University started its work in the Foundation Year. In 2006, the
Foundation Year got its irst full accreditation from ACC, and this includes all the eight study centers of
the university. This year (2013) ACC will again visit the Foundation Year of BBU for re–accreditation.
Meanwhile, the IQA is also preparing for the Institutional Accreditation of all the Academic Programs
in all the seven study centers. This application is for the Provisional Status. The Management team and
the IQA team of BBU have been working hard in the preparation of the support documents following
the nine ACC Standards. In the previous years, the IQA through the of ice of the president had trained
internal assessors who assessed all the study centers under the guidance of the IQA. The results of
these assessments were presented to the whole BBU community during the Annual Conference of BBU
in April after which discussions and feedback were held.
For this year, 2013, the process is focused on the writing of the Self–Assessment Report (SAR)
Part 1 and Part 2 and the checking of support documents. All these will be sent to ACC in the early part
of 2014 to support our application for the Institutional Accreditation.

Investment
The investment is an important thing for the growth of Build Bright University, thus, for more than
10 years of life, BBU invested on buildings, land, farms, and physical facilities according to its needs.
The investment on buildings is an important issue of each study center, except for some provinces
where the buildings have been leased such as in Takeo, Preah Sihanouk, Stung Treng, Ratanak Kiri,
and Phnom Penh; however BBU has reserved land for constructing buildings in those provinces and
municipality. The locations where BBU invested in land and buildings include Banteaymeanchey
province, where BBU invested to construct a four storey building consisting of 28 rooms. The money
invested to constuct that building was in total equal to 171,000 USD. Further, BBU Banteaymeanchey

invested in its study center in this province on the land around 1,500,000 USD, on buildings around
1,070,000 USD, and on physical materials, computers, and books around 1 million USD. The investments
of BBU in this study center were larger than other study centers because those investments were
based on the continued increase in number of students and competitors. BBU in Siem Reap province
has ive buildings consisting of 93 studying rooms.
After BBU in Siem Reap Province, the investments of BBU focuses on another BBU branch in Batambang
