WBS

8/28

8Coordinator’s MessageThank you for considering applying to the International MBA program at Waseda Business School! Our school is one of the most emerging busi-ness schools globally, which is reflected in our 2021 ranking (WBS is ranked No.1 in Japan by Eduniversal Best Masters Ranking). The Interna-tional MBA program is our flagship program. We annually welcome about 50-60 talented students from around 25 countries.Our program offers great and unique opportunities for you, all of which follow our three core visions. First, we emphasize “Actionable Knowledge.” We believe knowledge must be acted upon in practice. For this reason, many of our faculty members have an amazing wealth of practical experience. Second, we foster “Community-Based Learning.” We have a unique “Zemi” system, in which you have deep one-on-one communication with professors.Third, we seek to develop “Global Leaders.” As mentioned above, we have a highly diversified body of students, and you will have many opportunities to mingle with them and even with Japanese Evening MBA students (many of whom are currently working for leading Japa-nese companies). Finally, I am afraid that amid this tough situation triggered by the COVID-19 crisis, some of you may be anxious about studying overseas. WBS will do its very best to support your smooth transition to MBA life, both physically and virtually. Overall, our International MBA program of-fers an amazing set of opportunities for you to develop and inspire your-self. I hope I can see you on the WBS campus quite soon!*Sabbatical year in 2022International MBA ProgramCoordinatorProf.Akie IRIYAMA
