English MBA & MIM

A two-year option for a Master of Science in Management (MIM) is also available for students who wish to undertake a double degree program or study abroad exchange with one of the NUCB Business School's overseas partner institutions. Many students who follow the two-year track continue to work in Japan while earning their Master's degree, this is a Part-Time MBA with courses held on the weekend only.

Application Deadlines - September 2020 Enrollment

**For domestic applicants only who do not need visa application upon enrollment.

***Interviews may be requested on demand for those who require an early decision or deadline based decision (for scholarship such as MEXT), after submitting your application please contact the school to request an interview date.

* Due to exceptional circumstance caused by the Covid-19 Pandemic, we appreciate that some applicants have faced difficulties in preparing the required documents in time for the usual final application deadlines. Therefore, an additional late round (deadline July 14) has been added, as an exception, for applications to the Fall 2020 semester. However, please be aware that the student visa application process can take up to 2 months, meaning applicants in this late round face the possibility of their arrival in Japan for Fall 2020 semester being delayed.  Should this situation arise, we would endeavour to accommodate, but it would cause inconvenience and complications to both student and school. Therefore we strongly encourage applicants to apply in the May/June rounds whereever possible. The round ending July 14 is ONLY for those unable to meet the earlier deadlines.
