Seminar Conference (Faculty of Economics)

What is the Seminar Conference?

経済学部ゼミ大会
This is a competition where students are divided into blocks of "Economics," "Management," "Finance," and "Accounting" and give presentations. After the presentations, they may be subjected to sharp comments and tough questions from working judges and teachers. The content and presentation are judged fairly, and a cash prize and other prizes are awarded to the winners at the awards ceremony. The planning and running of the event is mainly handled by the student group, the "Seminar Union."
