History
RUFA's origins date to the establishment of the École des arts cambodgiens in Phnom Penh in 1917.[2] 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.
