The Global MBA at Doshisha Business School offers an exciting and creative addition to the international market in professional education.

Global is the catch phrase of the new Doshisha MBA program. And for very good reasons. No enterprise, system or institution nowadays can survive without seriously addressing the international dimension of its activities. This applies equally to the current and future generation of managers and officers. Doshisha University's new program therefore is a welcome and timely initiative and offers international minded managers from Japan and abroad an excellent choice of solid business management courses combined with highly relevant topics like economic sustainability, technology and innovation. We can be confident that the program, which handsomely matches the philosophy and content of the major European international business courses, will benefit all participants.

The Global MBA at Doshisha addresses a diversity and range of courses that are both timely and topical. The program advances students' understanding of the role of Japan in relation to its major trading partners: the U.S., Europe, and China. Furthermore, the use of English as the medium of instruction is both sound and pragmatic as English has become the lingua franca of international business. Through a world-class faculty and international student body, it will equip participants with the global mindset needed to succeed in international business in the 21st century.
