― apply April 9 to May 7 for study starting September 2025 ―

Until May 7, the Global MBA Program at HOSEI Business School of Innovation Management is accepting applications for the cohort starting this September 2025 and graduating in March 2027. We are an accredited English-language MBA program in Tokyo.

Overview of the Global MBA Program:

• GMBA is a 1.5-year program, meaning students entering September 2025 will graduate in March 2027. (We are one of the few programs in Japan to adopt the much-discussed switch to an autumn start of the academic year.)
• There are four 7-week quarters a year, meaning only about half the year is spent in classes. And for those classes, the course schedule is set up to allow night and Saturday study for those who will work during the weekday. (Also, the student visa permits foreign nationals to work up to 28-hours per week.)
• The program is entirely in English, but as it is run alongside our two Japanese MBAs (1-year and 2-year programs), courses may also be taken in Japanese, and students from the Global and Japanese Programs interact freely. (Japanese language study is also available — free of charge.)
• For students not engaged in full-time work as a regular employee, the Program has two internship project programs: with regional and non-profit organizations in Year 1, and with business enterprises in Year 2. (Students who study while continuing as regular employees do practical study projects instead.)
• The Business School is located in the heart of Tokyo, in Ichigaya.

The GMBA Program is ideal for the following people:

• Those interested in MBA learning
• Those who wish to gain practical experience through internships
• Those looking for a way to start a career involving Japan, as Japanese language is not a requirement for entry — Japanese language study and courses in Japanese are available
• Those in Japan who are interested in gaining overseas experience but need to be in Japan — the GMBA program provides an immersive international experience in Japan
