1. Master’s Program (Doctoral Course)
This is a pre-doctoral program designed for prospective research students who will progress to the 3-year Doctoral Program in the field of economics and management. Toward the end of the program, students choose their own topic and write a master’s thesis.
2. Master’s Program (Specialized Course)
The Specialized Course is designed for students who aim to be specialists in government agencies, companies, and NPOs with wide knowledge and skills in economics and business administration. There are two sub-courses: the Economic Policy Course and the Master of Business Administration Course. Students in the Specialized Course write a “research paper.”
