Exchange Program Opportunities

Kazuhiro Iwayama (Japan)

  • School: IESE Business School
  • Country: Spain
  • Duration: Fall Term

Studying abroad at IESE Business School in Barcelona was an unforgettable experience. The city’s amazing climate and vibrant atmosphere created the perfect environment for learning and personal growth. It was a rare opportunity to immerse myself in a completely different culture and to view the world through a new lens. As students, we should take advantage of such moments to step outside our comfort zones and embrace new challenges. This experience allowed me to build meaningful connections, gain fresh insights, and grow in confidence. I encourage you to make the most of this incredible journey ahead.

Riki Sasaki (Japan)

  • School: WHU - Otto Beisheim School of Management
  • Country: Germany
  • Duration: Fall Term

I spent three months at WHU in Düsseldorf, Germany. The city’s charming medieval atmosphere, along with events like Oktoberfest and Christmas markets, made daily life exciting. In class, I had insightful discussions with peers who had diverse experiences in the mature business environments of Germany and Europe. Supported by kind and engaging professors, I took courses such as Data Management and Entrepreneurship. This exchange deepened what I had learned at IUJ and broadened my global perspective. It was truly a valuable and inspiring experience that I will carry forward in both my academic and professional journey.

Shiho Shigemashi (Japan)

  • School: University of St. Gallen
  • Country: Switzerland
  • Duration: Fall Term

I had an amazing experience at the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland. I strongly recommend that you choose the University of St. Gallen if you are looking for a place not only to study, but also to enjoy life in a calm and beautiful nature. There were a variety of courses open for exchange students where you can gain new insights from lectures and group discussions with international students, mainly from Europe. You can always reach out to the beautiful green mountains where cows and horses are taking naps, shiny lakes, and historical and cultural buildings. On the other hand, there were also many challenges that I had to overcome during this exchange program, which helped me to grow my academic skills and as a person. I hope you will take this opportunity to meet diverse people and cultures, gain new insights, and life-changing experience.
