Admission Policy

We aim to develop visionary leaders who create and innovate societies in Japan and around the world. To become a part of this mission, students must have a strong foundation of business skills, as well as a passion to nurture a personal mission—what we at GLOBIS call a kokorozashi.

On top of professional experience, business skills, and aptitude for leadership, our Admissions Office pays special attention to each applicant’s kokorozashi. What do you want to achieve in your life? What kind of innovation or change do you want to bring to society? Questions like these evaluate the potential to become one of tomorrow’s visionary leaders.

We also take pride in our diverse, global network. All of our programs bring together students from different industries, cultures, nationalities, and ages to learn together and, more importantly, from each other. GLOBIS students are open-minded. Many have lived abroad, studied foreign languages, or participated in academic and professional activities on an international scale. Our Admissions Office has a high regard for such experiences, as they indicate mental fortitude and preparedness for significant life changes. In line with this, every member of our diverse student body takes an active role in creating a healthy, stimulating learning environment for their peers, faculty, and staff.

All aspects of our programs are designed to develop tomorrow’s visionary leaders. From the industry expertise of our lecturers to in-class discussions of real-life cases, GLOBIS fast-tracks each student’s kokorozashi so they can start making a real impact.

The core of GLOBIS University’s admission policy, therefore, is whether candidates have the potential to become “leaders who create and innovate societies” and can inspire each other to become the best versions of themselves.

Curriculum Policy

Our mission is to develop visionary leaders who create and innovate societies in Japan and all over the world. To this end, our curriculum is designed to establish leaders with problem-solving skills for a rapidly evolving business environment.

Furthermore, our Full-time MBA accepts international students from around the world for a year of intensive study. These students learn comprehensive business subjects to accelerate career advancement or even fuel a career change. No matter their goal, each student acquires the qualities of a business leader who can thrive globally.

Structure	Method
Each course falls into one of three categories: Fundamental, Applied, and Specialized. After acquiring basic knowledge with Fundamental courses and honing their skills with Applied courses, students can use their newfound skills to tackle contemporary issues and problems in Specialized courses. Fundamental and Applied courses are split into six disciplines. Three of these are common to any MBA program: Organizational Behavior & Human Resource Management, Marketing & Strategy, and Accounting & Finance. With these, students systematically acquire the skills to manage people, capital, and knowledge. In addition, GLOBIS focuses on three unique disciplines: Critical & Analytical Skills, Management Philosophy, and Technovate. Leaders must rely on their values and beliefs for guidance during tough times. And in today’s rapidly changing environment, they also need a deep understanding of technology to thrive. Our Specialized courses are divided into three areas: Creation, which focuses on bringing new ideas to life; Innovation, which emphasizes the iteration and growth of existing value; and Japan/Asia/Global, which highlights the development of global leaders who play active roles in Asia and the global economy. Another key aspect of our program is Critical Thinking as a required course. This equips students with essential thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills for all other courses in the curriculum. We also offer the Integrated Learning Program, where Full-time MBA students can gain practical experience and business skills by interning at a company under the mentorship of GLOBIS faculty members.	Classes at GLOBIS are discussion based to help students put their acquired knowledge into practice and produce tangible results. To frame these discussions, we utilize the case method. This approach trains students to think deeply not only on their own, but through lively group discussions. Our Full-time MBA program is conducted on our Tokyo campus. Here, students gain a rich understanding of Japanese business and culture during their studies and daily life. We are well aware that working business professionals have varying schedules and commitments. This is why we offer a Full-time MBA (which can be completed in just one year), as well as a Part-time & Online MBA for a more self-paced option.
