The Royal University of Agriculture (RUA) was founded in 1964 as the Royal Agricultural College by then Prince Norodom Sihanouk.

In 1975, the Khmer Rouge regime came to power and abolished all higher education in Cambodia. RUA was reopened in 1981 as the Institute of Agricultural Technology, and offered diplomas in agriculture, animal science, and veterinary medicine.

In 1993, the university was renamed the Royal University of Agriculture, and began offering bachelor's degrees again. In 2003, RUA was granted university status.
