  • I have never been to Japan before this experience, but its culture has always fascinated me. I chose the NUCB Business School not only for this reason but also and above all for its international reputation and the quality of its programs. Here I have the opportunity to get in touch with many colleagues from all over the world who have contributed to enrich this experience not only from a professional point of view but also human.

  • After one year at the NUCB Business School, I have the impression that my horizons have been broadened: I learned a lot from working with students from so many different countries in the world, I met inspiring people and I got the chance to travel around Japan.

  • Coming from a very remote, developing country in the Pacific – Kiribati – the NUCB Business School provides more prospective opportunities to learn business in-depth from a global perspective. The courses are structured more conducive to active participation, open sharing and exchanging ideas and thoughts with rich diverse people (students) whom they have more realistic and exciting experiences and thats what I value the most.

  • At the NUCB Business School, I met some of the people who influenced me the most in my life, forming bonds that will last for a lifetime. Overcoming the challenges posed by the different culture and a new learning approach was much easier with the support of my fellow classmates.

  • An exchange at the NUCB Business School represents a truly mind opening experience through deep-diving into the Japanese culture while simultaneously being exposed to classmates from a broad range of nationalities.

  • My choice of NUCB Business School as my exchange destination was driven mainly by my longstanding fascination for the Japanese culture and way of life. And the Global Leader Program combines that exposure with a great mix of students from across the world.

  • The curriculum of the Global Leader Program offers me the opportunity to attend classes with a very different course structure and content than at my home institution HHL. That way, it is a perfect complement to my Master studies in Germany. The case based study method which stimulates class discussions is a very good way to learn about new concepts and strategies of business leaders while it offers the chance to gain insights from the manifold backgrounds and experiences of the students themselves.

  • I chose the NUCB Business School in order to gain a greater insight into Japan's business practices and culture. My family has a coffee business in Hawaii and many of our customers are from Japan. I plan to run the family business after completing my MBA and I wanted to increase my understanding of Japan's language, culture, and business practices so I can better serve our customers. I've even thought that one day, I may expand the family business into Japan!

  • I chose the NUCB Business School because in addition to its reputation, ranking and important dual accreditation worldwide, it is located in one of the most powerful economies in Japan which is Nagoya. Here there is a multicultural experience that we can live in every class, sharing the same classroom with people whose background and culture is totally different than in South America would help me to develop new skills and new ways of doing business around the world.

  • In Peru, Japanese culture has had a great impact since the beginning of the last century. Studying an MBA at the NUCB Business School allows me not only to expand my global strategic field of vision, in one of the most prestigious business schools in Asia, but allows me to return to my country with knowledge and valuable tools that will serve me in the future, both in business and in life.

    Most of my career so far has been in the medical and nursing care industries, but being able to discuss common topics with people from various industries has broadened my perspective. I have also been able to evaluate my company objectively, and its actual performance has been improving.

    As I have been working for a foreign-capital company, the practical and global decision-making which I could obtain from the voluminous case methods, which is a characteristic of the learning at NUCB Business School, as well as Harvard Business School, is very much useful for the further improvement of my skill. In addition, learning at NUCB Business School which has international accreditation can equal the experience of learning at the business schools abroad with international accreditation.
