Announcement Description

The National University of Battambang (NUBB) is a public university in Battambang City and an important center of Higher Education in Northwestern Cambodia. It offers undergraduate and graduate programs. The Faculty of Sociology and Community Development (FSCD) comprises the Departments of Sociology, Community Development, Economics and Law, with a thematic focus on peace, the environment and gender. The Faculty has established a partnership with the Civil Peace Service regional program “Southeast Asian University Partnership for Peacebuilding and Conflict Transformation” (SAUP), implemented by the German development cooperation agency GIZ. SAUP supports universities in Cambodia, the Philippines and Timor Leste in developing curricula for peace and conflict studies. It provides partners with technical and human resources to support their capacity in curriculum design and contextualisation, and with opportunities for networking and professional development.

At NUBB-FSCD, SAUP supports the development of a new undergraduate program in Peace and Sustainable Development. The curriculum will be crafted in close cooperation with partners from civil society organizations and local governmental bodies. The program will integrate good practices and methodologies employed by peacebuilding and sustainable development practitioners operating both within the local community and across Southeast Asia. Moreover, the program will encompass experiential learning opportunities beyond the conventional classroom setting, English language and digital skills courses. By incorporating these elements, the program aims to equip graduates with capabilities vital for their future endeavours beyond the university setting. The program is expected to start in late 2023.
