Global Subjects
In light of the rapidly changing trends in the global economy, we have established two global courses that are in line with the times.
You will actively learn about the realities of overseas business by tackling the realities of corporate activities and the challenges they face head-on.
It is recommended that you take both courses together in order to obtain synergistic results.

Overseas Internship
Sharpen your business sense through global work experience
Summer/Intensive Course: Approx. 2 weeks
In the current situation where Japanese companies are increasingly keen to expand overseas, it is important to gain experience abroad at an early stage and acquire global thinking and practical skills. In the "Overseas Internship", students travel to various countries, mainly in Asia, and gain work experience practicing marketing activities at local companies, deepening their understanding of different cultures and cultivating the basic skills required to work overseas. In order to steadily acquire knowledge and experience, we have put together a systematic program that includes pre-study and debriefing sessions after returning home, and we provide thorough support to each and every student.

POINT
Students who are unsure about their language skills can participate with peace of mind.
This course is intended for students with little experience traveling abroad, as well as first and second year students, as an "introductory course that opens the door to becoming a global citizen." By working together with local Japanese staff and local students studying Japanese, students can make up for their lack of language skills. In addition, local companies and accommodations are arranged in advance, so students can study with confidence even if it is their first time abroad.

Step 2
Each team presents their analysis results
Based on the collected information, we will conduct an analysis to solve the problem, present the results at the mid-term report meeting, and receive comments from the person in charge at the problem-providing company. We will then synthesize the analysis, the information from the interviews, and the comments on the interim report and begin to put together a solution to the problem.
