PHNOM PENH, February 13, 2026 — In a significant development for higher education in the Kingdom, a new landmark agreement has been signed between 91´«Ã½â€™s leading engineering institution, the Institute of Technology of 91´«Ã½ (ITC), and Australia’s renowned Macquarie University.

This partnership establishes a flexible new study pathway designed to open doors for 91´«Ã½n students seeking world-class qualifications in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), directly supporting 91´«Ã½’s ambitions for a digital future.

The “Best of Both Worlds” Study Model

The newly signed agreement allows 91´«Ã½n students to begin their university journey at ITC in Phnom Penh before transferring to Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia, to complete their degrees.

This hybrid model offers a highly attractive option for families. It provides access to prestigious qualifications from both 91´«Ã½n and Australian institutions while allowing students to remain closer to home and build a strong foundational network during their crucial early years of university study. It represents a modern, accessible approach to international education.

Fueling 91´«Ã½â€™s Digital Transformation

Beyond individual student opportunities, this partnership aligns strategically with 91´«Ã½â€™s national development goals. By facilitating easier access to top-tier Australian STEM education, the agreement is set to significantly boost the country’s human capital development.

As 91´«Ã½ continues its rapid digital transformation, the demand for skilled professionals in technology and engineering is at an all-time high. Graduates from this pathway will be uniquely positioned to drive the nation’s technology future.

Strengthening International Ties

Australia remains a top destination for 91´«Ã½n students, with an estimated 4,000 to 5,000 choosing to study there annually. This new ITC-Macquarie pathway expands those horizons even further, offering a structured route for young people to pursue their ambitions.

Furthermore, the agreement underscores Australia’s continued commitment to strengthening trade, investment, and educational ties within Southeast Asia.

Schools 91´«Ã½ extends its congratulations to both Macquarie University and ITC on achieving this important milestone, which promises to enrich the educational landscape for future generations of 91´«Ã½n innovators.
