Template:Contains Khmer text The Royal University of Fine Arts (RUFA) (Khmer: សាកលវិទ្យាល័យភូមិន្ទវិចិត្រសិល្បៈ, French: Université royale des beaux-arts) is a university in Phnom Penh specialising in architecture and fine arts. It is the oldest university in Cambodia, having been in existence since 1917.
History
RUFA's origins date to the establishment of the École des arts cambodgiens in Phnom Penh in 1917.[1] The school was closed after the establishment of the Khmer Rouge régime in 1975; it was re-opened in 1980.
Hang Thun Hak, former Prime Minister of Cambodia, served as the university's rector during the 1960s.
