Where is it possible to take MBA courses in English, Japanese and Chinese?   Welcome to the Global Master of Business Administration (GMBA) at Doshisha University in Kyoto, Japan! 

Business is global and this is a key reason I choose to study abroad for my MBA.

Having been assigned to Japan with a Fortune 500 consulting firm and conducting business in Singapore, China, and the Philippines I knew I would like to continue to work between Asia and the United States. While earning an MBA I simultaneously would like to improve my Japanese business language skills, especially business writing (Kanji).

These are some reasons I choose to do an MBA at Japan’s 2^nd oldest University, Doshisha.

My focus of study is on Comparative Management between Japanese and USA/European companies. I will take classes and perform research, hoping to publish, on this topic.

During my first month at DBS (Doshisha Business School) I have enjoyed interacting with classmates from Australia, Canada, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, Vietnam, Qatar and the United States.

Attached find a picture from a DBS student baseball game held on the grounds of the former Imperial Palace, which is a 15 minute walk from DBS. If you choose to study at Doshisha you will be surrounded by the beautiful culture of Japan and intelligent students from around the world. Welcome to Doshisha Business School!
