DMUC Takes British University Experience to American Intercon School
On 19 June 2026, De Montfort University Cambodia (DMUC) — Cambodia’s first and only physical British university campus — paid a special visit to American Intercon School (AIS), one of Phnom Penh’s most respected international schools. The outreach session was led by the DMUC Admissions team, accompanied by two proud alumni who once walked the very halls of AIS before going on to pursue their degrees at DMUC. The visit kicked off with an energetic Kahoot game designed to break the ice and spark curiosity about university life, setting the tone for an engaging, student-centred conversation that would follow throughout the afternoon.
The session covered everything prospective students need to make an informed decision about their academic future. DMUC representatives introduced the university — its identity as the official branch campus of De Montfort University Leicester (UK), its internationally recognised British curriculum, and what makes studying at a physical British campus in Phnom Penh a truly unique opportunity in Southeast Asia. Attendees received a comprehensive overview of available programmes across business, technology, and creative disciplines, alongside a detailed walkthrough of admissions processes and entry requirements tailored for AIS graduates. The presence of the two AIS alumni added a deeply personal and authentic dimension to the event — sharing their own journeys from AIS classrooms to DMUC lecture halls, and how a British degree has shaped their professional confidence and career prospects.
A highlight of the session was the detailed presentation on financial support opportunities available to incoming students. DMUC representatives outlined the university’s scholarship packages, School Partner Awards, and other exclusive offers designed to make a UK-standard education both accessible and affordable for Cambodian students. The School Partner Award — available specifically to graduates of partner institutions such as AIS — was met with particular enthusiasm from the audience. By bringing the university experience directly into the school environment, DMUC reaffirmed its commitment to making world-class British education not just a distant aspiration, but a real and attainable next step for motivated young Cambodians. Students and parents interested in learning more are encouraged to connect with the DMUC Admissions team to begin their application journey today.
