Global MBA Program
Profile
The HOSEI Business School of Innovation Management (HBSIM) started offering a new Global MBA program (GMBA) in September 2015. Students enrolled in this 1.5-year course study Japanese business practices, Japanese companies, and Japanese management styles in the English language.
Since its inception, HBSIM has focused on producing graduates who have a thorough understanding not only of major companies, but also of small and medium enterprises in Japan. In response to the trends of globalization, the GMBA program was added along side our existing Japanese curriculum (a one-year full-time MBA program and a two-year MBA program for working professionals).
Degree: Master of Business Administration
Standard period for completion of study: 1.5 years (start in September, graduate in March)
The Differences HOSEI GMBA Provides You
1 || You learn Japanese business and management.
You are able to learn Japanese business practices and management styles by studying for your MBA in Japan. The knowledge of Japanese production, supply management, and marketing will be your edge, as will be your understanding of such concepts as omotenashi and familiarity with such pop culture media as manga & anime. The HOSEI GMBA curriculum focuses strongly on companies operating in these areas.
2 || Your internship gives you invaluable work and social learning experience
The HOSEI GMBA program includes practical experience through problem-solving internship projects with regional government organizations, non-government/non-profit organizations, and/or business enterprises.
These internships are not only tremendous opportunities for gaining work experience, but they also enable you to have a well-rounded social experience during your time in Japan.
3 || You have the opportunity to develop your Japanese language skills
The HOSEI University Japanese Language Program offers Japanese lessons for 30,000 yen per course. By learning Japanese language, together with your native tongue and the GMBA based English language skill, you become a trilingual business person. This will be a huge advantage to you as you enter the global workforce and continue in your career. Also, with your improved Japanese ability, you are able to take regular MBA courses taught in Japanese.
