Hey! I'm currently in high school and doing the IB program, and am on track to a perfect score.
I've really been considering Japan for university, but have been a little unsure about which unis are best for Business! (I'm still open to other majors like Japanese studies, but as of now I think I prefer Business)
I'm very interested in Japan culturally and am learning the language, but I'm not fluent so would be looking for courses in English.
I've researched some options, but I know that there are definitely more out there!
Please feel free to add any suggestions, I would really appreciate it!!
- NUCB (BBA)- They seem to have a very good reputation within Japan for Business, ranked at #1, but my only doubt arises from its location in Nagoya. I know that it is quite close (~2.5hrs) via train to Tokyo and Osaka, but I definitely tend to prefer living in bigger cities. If anyone has been to NUCB, please let me know your thoughts!
- Waseda – (School of International Liberal Studies) Their website is a little unclear ;-; The actual degrees and options for this course aren't specified, so I haven't been able to decide if its something that I'm fully interested in yet. They do offer a Japanese course, however it seems to be solely Japanese with no additional subjects. Has a year abroad option, but quite limited partners.
- Keio – (GIGA) This course seems to have Business Administration within it, combined with some other subjects. The layouts on their site aren't very clear though, so the classes & curriculum are pretty ambiguous. I don't really understand what I would be learning… ;-; They also have foreign language classes as part of the degree, so I could do Japanese. Their year abroad partners are also really good, should I choose to do that.
- Temple University Japan (International Business + Japanese) – I really like how they offer business alongside Japanese, but I have heard some pretty (really) bad reviews in regards to staff and teaching there… The Tokyo location is a plus, but I do want a useful education.
If you have any opinions that you think would be helpful, please don't hesitate to reply!
I haven't looked into many other cities like Osaka / Kyoto yet, so if you have any recs let me know 🙂
I'm in the research stage right now, so I'm considering quite a few options.
