Japanese MBA classes

As Doshisha Business School is home to both our Global MBA and our Japanese MBA, Global MBA students with a suitable level of Japanese are able to take a number of Japanese MBA classes. (Japanese students are also encouraged to take some MBA courses in English). This provides a great opportunity to interact with Japanese MBA students, most of whom are full-time managers in Kansai companies.

*If you choose to spend a term studying at one of our overseas partner universities and/or take courses offered by the Japanese MBA Program (Japanese Language Proficiency Test N1 required), up to 10 credits of courses can be counted toward your Doshisha MBA degree. (Approval of course professor required.)

After working for over 6 years in several Japanese MNCs in India, I decided it was time to invest in myself and move into the next stage of career. Pursuing an MBA in a globally reputed university seemed like the right move to make and I chose Doshisha Business School for several reasons.

  1. It is in the heart of Kyoto, the cultural center of Japan.
  2. The professors are from strong business backgrounds.
  3. It offers the opportunity to take some of the MBA courses (in Japanese) in the the Japanese MBA program. (Minimum Requirement: JLPT N1)
  4. I was offered a generous reduction in my tuition fee which significantly reduced my financial burden.

The Global MBA program at Doshisha Business School not only provided a great learning experience but also enabled me to interact with students from around the world with different socio-cultural backgrounds. Taking some of the MBA courses offered by the Japanese MBA program was a great learning experience as well. The medium of instruction was completely Japanese and it was difficult to keep up with the weekly assignments, etc., which had to be written completely in Japanese. However, it helped improve my proficiency in Japanese and I learnt a lot about the global economy from the Japanese perspective and the corporate governance policies of Japanese companies. Apart from this, it provided a great opportunity to network with Japanese working professionals.

My two years at Doshisha Business School has helped me both in my personal and professional growth.
