Helping International Students Find English-Taught Undergraduate and Postgraduate Programs at Japanese Universities
Waseda University
Graduate School of Commerce
MBA Program (Waseda Business School)
The International MBA program is a full-time two-year program which aims to develop business leaders with a global mindset. In addition to students from Japan, this program also welcomes international students from all over the world, and offers a learning environment that enables students to be exposed to a global environment in the very center of Tokyo. The program provides a well-balanced curriculum of subjects taught in English and Japanese. Degrees can be earned in either language (i.e., English or Japanese). The school year begins in September for those who take core courses conducted in English. For those who undertake core courses in Japanese, classes begin in April. In order to facilitate student interaction, bilingual courses are available where students can participate in either English or Japanese as instructors summarize and translate. During summer and winter vacations, intensive courses are available in both languages, and one such course in English is hosted in Singapore, USA, France, UK, Hong Kong and Myanmar. Communication skills and management capabilities that students acquire through this program serve as a foundation for their success as business leaders who can thrive in the truly global era.
