Prof. James Chua

A very warm welcome! This is your Vice Chancellor from the East Asia Management University in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. It is with great pride that I introduce you to our university—Cambodia’s leading institution for inclusive, world-class education, and home to one of the top management schools. Here, we are more than just a place of learning. We are a launchpad for future leaders and professionals.

Our mission is clear: to equip graduates not only with academic excellence, but with the skills, mindset, and character to thrive in a fast-changing, AI-driven world. That’s why we embrace a holistic education framework, cultivating in our students what we call the 6 Cs: they become competent in their fields, confident in their abilities, filled with curiosity to explore, driven by commitment, inspired to be creative, and empowered with strong communication skills. These are the traits that employers seek and that society needs.

At our university, we welcome students from all walks of life. We celebrate diversity, and we stand for access, inclusion, and opportunity. Our graduates are not just job-ready—they are career-ready, life-ready, and future-ready. So to our young dreamers and future change agents out there, I invite you to begin your journey with us. Together, let us shape not just your future, but the future of this country and the region.

I look forward to welcoming you to East Asia Management University.
