    Apart from support from governmental and non-governmental organizations within Japan, international students from overseas may receive scholarships provided by the School. All programs at our institution are accredited by MEXT.

  • Ranked #1 in Japan by QS and the Financial Times

    The success and diversity of our MBA graduates has been highly evaluated, and we are the only institution in Japan to be ranked in the MBA rankings by the Financial Times, one of the world's most influential ranking publications.

  • 100% case-based management experience

    The case method is used in all classes, using the latest business cases as teaching materials. By simulating managerial decision-making based on hundreds of diverse cases, students are able to enhance their practical management skills.


Consultation

MBA & MSc information sessions are held monthly in Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya. Individual consultations are also available at any time, so please feel free to apply. Regardless of your preferred type of consultation, an English-speaking admissions counselor will provide the information you need on demand.

  • How do I start an MBA?
  • I want to know if an MBA is useful for my job.
  • I would like to hear from people who have obtained an MBA.
  • How can I balance my MBA and work?
  • I would like to know what preparations I need to make before entering the MBA program.

We hold an open Q&A session at the end of our information session events, which are regularly held several times a month and answer the most common questions from prospective applicants. Before making an individual consultation request, we ask that you attend one of our information sessions, where you can learn all you need to know, and likely other things you didn't think to ask about!
