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. 1 Annual Report 2012 Message from President I am very pleased to share the achievements in this annual report made by our management team, faculty, staff, students and alumni whose creativity, talent and hard work have brought BBU to where it is today. Though there are many challenges in front of us, BBU is wellpositioned as a largest university community in pursuing its 2020 strategic development plan and seizing new opportunities to take BBU to the highest levels, for the bene it of our students, community and the whole society. This 2012 Annual Report marks the greater achievement made throughout the year and in the last 12 years of implementing BBU’s Strategic Triangle Development Plan set out by H.E. Dr. In Viracheat, Chair of the university council. The plan has two development phases, each is equal to 10 years, started in 2000 and completed in 2010 (Phase I), whereas Phase II is scheduled to end by 2020. With this strategic triangle development plan, BBU is strongly maintaining its commitment to accessibility, diversity, innovation, and excellence in higher education across Cambodia.

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. Annual Report 2012 26 Academic Achievement Employability Status at Microϐinance Sector Micro inance sector in Cambodia is the sector which has grown very fast since 2000, and the sector had involved from NGO to Micro inance Institution and Specialized Bank. In order to parallel with the growth of the sector, BBU had designed curriculum by inviting some experts from this sector to join in developing the curriculum that will it with the need of the sector. Besides the curriculum, BBU has invited some quali ied lecturers from this sector to teach the courses which are related to banking and inance. In BBU, banking and inance specialization is the leading specialization which is chosen by the students. Further, BBU has invested in some campuses at the provinces for the students and staffs of Micro inance Institutions and Banks for easy access for their studies in the city or provinces. As a result, we found out that the students who have graduated from BBU and work in Micro inance sector are ranked number one among the universities in Cambodia. These micro inance institutions are : Hattha Kaksekar Limited, Amret Micro inance, Credit Micro inance Institution, Angkor Micro inance Kampuchea, Prasac Micro inance, Vision Fund Cambodia etc. Furthermore, our students who work with Acleda Bank Plc, ABA Bank and Gold Financial Global are ranked as number two.

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.
