Financial Insights: De Montfort University Students Visit Amret Bank
PHNOM PENH, February 25, 2026 — Students from De Montfort University (DMU) Cambodia recently stepped out of the lecture hall and into the corporate headquarters of Amret MFI for an immersive industry visit. As part of DMU’s commitment to “learning beyond the classroom,” this visit provided students with a rare look at the inner workings of a leading financial institution.
Bridging the Professional Gap
For students aspiring to enter the fields of business, finance, or management, this exposure is invaluable. During the visit, the cohort explored:
- Banking Operations: Understanding the day-to-day management of financial services and customer relations.
- Industry Best Practices: Observing how a major institution maintains regulatory compliance and operational efficiency.
- Professional Networking: Engaging with industry experts who shared practical knowledge about the evolving Cambodian financial landscape.
The Value of Experiential Learning
From our perspective at Schools Cambodia, industry visits are a cornerstone of high-quality higher education. They allow students to:
- Contextualize Theory: Seeing how economic and business principles learned in class are applied to solve real-world financial challenges.
- Develop Soft Skills: Observing professional etiquette and corporate communication firsthand.
- Enhance Career Readiness: Helping students visualize their future career paths within the banking and microfinance sectors.
We extend our gratitude to Amret Bank for their warm welcome and for their role in nurturing the next generation of Cambodian professionals.
