Nurturing Global Leaders
Ever since the International University of Japan opened its doors 37 years ago, we have been committed to “producing global leaders” through our educational and research activities. As a result, we have achieved to create an unprecedented international environment for our students and produced more than 4,500 graduates from 136 countries, owing to the dedication of our outstanding academic staff and substantial support from the Japanese private sector. Thus, with our solid foundation of experiences and achievements gained so far, our aim is to develop our resourcefulness further and contribute to the world by nurturing global leaders of the future.
IUJ’s Aim for the Future
Nurturing Global Leaders for Multicultural Societies
The trend in higher education is moving increasingly towards nurturing students to develop their competencies and their ability to work collaboratively across national and regional boundaries. Hence, in order to improve our international competitiveness, we need to gather outstanding students and leading researchers from across the globe and nurture human resources who, through cultural agility, are capable of taking not only global leadership roles that contribute to solving global issues and improving our future, but also the initiative to improve local communities with a global outlook. For this purpose, it is equally important to prove our presence in the global higher education market and enhance the internationality of our very own systems and organizational culture.
