The goal of the Masters in Management (MBA, MSc degree tracks) is to instill in our students the motivation for embarking upon or enhancing successful and rewarding careers in global business environments. This is reflective of the school's founding vision of embracing a "Frontier Spirit." Our faculty and staff members provide students with the knowledge and skills needed for future employment and leadership opportunities at the Master's level.
Nagoya is a leading economic market. So I wanted to do my Masters at NUCB Business School.
Courses are 100% conducted in English and follow the Case Method in order to promote cultural diversity and facilitate learning. Case Method is proven as the global standard for top-level business schools to develop practical experience in the academic theater.
The Master degree can be obtained in one year (accelerated MBA), two years (full-time MBA or MSc) or two years (part-time Weekend MBA). The length of study can be reduced to 1.5 years for outstanding students or extended up to 2 to 4 years for students who wish to continue working.
NUCB Business School is the first and only institution to obtain accredited by both AACSB and AMBA in Japan. Among global business schools less than 5% hold AACSB accreditation and less than 2% hold AMBA accreditation.

Looking at different schools in Japan, I found that NUCB Business School stood out because of its emphasis on a global mindset and developing global leaders.
The curriculum for the Global Leader Program is designed to train you to become a competitive leader in the global economy. This curriculum and course material covers a variety of fields required for a Master’s level of education on a global scale. At NUCB Business School, your own perspective will be boosted by introducing the Asian perspective on business management that is emphasized when analyzing both Western-based and Asian-based companies in all aspects of the program. The flexibility built in to the curriculum means that students can take weekend only courses (part-time) or mix weekend and weekday courses (full-time). Regardless of student status, the courses offered in the program are open to all students.
