Exchange Program Opportunities
Expand Your World — One Term Abroad
At IUJ, we believe that stepping outside your comfort zone is key to becoming a truly global leader. As part of this vision, GSIM offers a dynamic Exchange Program that allows students to study abroad for one academic term at one of 30+ prestigious partner institutions across Asia, Europe, North America, and Africa.
This is more than just studying at another university — it’s an opportunity to immerse yourself in a different culture, experience new teaching methods, and gain fresh perspectives on global business practices. You’ll expand your network, sharpen your adaptability, and return with new insights that will set you apart in your future career.
When and How It Works
- Timing: Typically during the Fall Term (September–December) of your second year. Depending on partner university availability, the Winter Term (January–March) may also be an option.
- Duration: One term (3 to 4 months)
- Placement: Based on a competitive selection process
Eligibility and Costs
Students in the MBA Program have priority in the exchange placement process. Students in One-Year Programs may apply to go on exchange after completing their degree in August, provided they continue their enrollment and pay the applicable tuition for the Fall term.
- Tuition: Paid to IUJ during the exchange term
- Other expenses (travel, accommodation, meals, etc.): Covered by the student
- Host University Tuition: Waived under exchange agreements
Build Global Connections — Even On Campus
Even if you do not go abroad, you can still benefit from IUJ’s strong global ties. Our campus welcomes exchange students from top business schools around the world, offering unique opportunities for cross-cultural exchange and lifelong connections right here in Japan.
Note: Exchange opportunities vary each year, and not all partner schools accept students annually.
