Helping International Students Find English-Taught Undergraduate and Postgraduate Programs at Japanese Universities

Hokkaido University

Graduate School of Economics and Business

Doctoral Program

Successful students who completed a master’s program can progress to the Doctoral Program. As an independent researcher, the student in this program can conduct independent studies. The Doctoral Program is designed to develop personnel with advanced skills who can carry out research education at universities.

Because the student’s goal is to write the Ph.D thesis, the course work like the one for master students is not required. Instead, students can receive in-depth research guidance through seminars and workshops.
