PPIT is the largest private institution for higher education in Cambodia dedicated to science technology and engineering.

Phnom Penh Institute of Technology was founded by Japan's Graduated Cambodia Students and Yamada Osamitsu Scholarship Foundation as the Phnom Penh Vocational School on April 1, 2011, three years after the Great Recession.

To accomplish the quick catch-up to the future economic recovering, the government expected this school to cultivate new modernized craftsmen and engineers.

Since January 2014, it has been privatized into the National University Incorporation of Phnom Penh Institute of Technology under a sub-decree.

The University College of Technology Sarawak (UCTS) welcomes applications from people of at least 21 years of age who do not qualify for admission into undergraduate and postgraduate programs on the basis of formal educational attainment through Non-formal Entry via APEL.
