ASCI Cambodian Satellite was established in 2014 with the aim of delivering and coordinating the Transnational doctoral program for leading professionals in Asian countries. Cambodian Satellite Campus is comprised of three separate campuses located within our partner universities, namely, the Royal University of Phnom Penh, the Royal University of Agriculture, and the Royal University of Law and Economics. The main office of the Cambodian Satellite Campus is located on the 1st floor of the Cambodia-Japan Cooperation Center (CJCC), in the compound of the Royal University of Phnom Penh.
In principle, the students who are enrolled in the ASCI program work directly with the academic advisors of their respective graduate schools. However, the office of the satellite campus also supports students on general academic issues as well as various administrative supports (such as schooling in Japan, field trips in Cambodia, etc.). We welcome any inquiries to our program.

Current Activities
This transnational doctoral program for leading professionals in Asian Countries is a research-based doctoral program.
