University is one of the most important chapters that most of us will go through in our lives. But it is not an easy decision to make when it comes to choosing the best university suited for them. Especially in Cambodia, most of the students who graduated from high school choose to go to university where their friends are heading without any clear passion or goal.
We are living in the digital era, where technology is developing at a lightning speed. Some jobs that exist presently may be replaced by robots in the near future especially with the rate of development. But what we can do to counter this issue is to choose a career path that is not just in-demand but also has a future and will be lasting for a long time. There are not many universities in Cambodia that are providing students with up to date information in the Information Technology field. There was always the sensation of shortcoming when it comes to the current trend around the world.
But there is a particular university that is deserted from the city, on top of Kirirom Mountain surrounded by the biggest pine forest in Cambodia there lies Kirirom Institute of Technology, or for short “KIT”. Kirirom Institute of Technology is a technical institution that revolves around the field of technology. Their primary goal is to increase the awareness of technology to students in Cambodia and shape them into top-notch Developers.
Kirirom Institute of Technology is one of the very few universities in Cambodia to provide students with accommodations. Students are encouraged to live with others and even seniors for a change of lifestyle which most of the students are not familiar with. Accommodation varies depending on the type of building you are living where the number of people may range from 4 to 8 and exceeding this number. With the environment surrounded by nature, students may be able to focus more on their studies and work instead of getting distracted by flashy places. Not to mention by seeing each other and living together they would be able to improve their social skill as well as a communication skill.
Keeping up with the current trend of technology is a very difficult task, but all of the lecturers at Kirirom Institute of Technology are constantly having meetings after meetings to come up with new curriculums. The subjects that were chosen were aimed to hone the skill and knowledge of students towards technology and the state of becoming professional developers. In addition, students are provided with on hand practice with the technology and their application as well as the scalability of the project they are doing.
Another special feature of Kirirom Institute of Technology is that they provide students with real-time internship programs. Students will be provided with the experience of working in an actual company under the name Virtual Company. Virtual COmpanies can propose projects that they think can generate profit and has the possibility to become a real project. In special cases, students may be able to work with real clients and gain a tremendous amount of experience especially with how the real world works and the difficulty when we are working in society.
For these reasons, we would like to recommend this university to Cambodian students who are interested in the Information Technology field. Not only it is a change in lifestyle, but students would be able to experience the real world at the same time gaining knowledge about technology.
