Messages from a current student and an alumnusGraduated from MBA ProgramFrancisco Campoy QuintelaSecond year student of MBA ProgramMalika Ramazanova After studying accounting and finance at university in Kazakhstan, I spent three years there with E&Y working on audit and assurance. I wanted to deepen my knowledge of other aspects of business besides accounting and nance. Anime, manga, and wide reading sparked my interest in Japan as a youngster. And as I grew up, I aspired to become a business professional on the global stage. Since the economic center of gravity is shifting to Asia and Japan is a highly developed Asian country, I believed a business education in Japan would be particularly valuable. IUJ is one of Japan's foremost business schools, offering a stimulating multicultural and multinational experience. The MBA program is everything you would expect from an excellent business school. And I have had the opportunity to travel widely in Japan, getting to know this fascinating country. I find IUJ's multicultural atmosphere very attractive. It encourages openness to new people and new ideas. The modest scale of the IUJ community makes it easy to form enduring friendships with fellow students from around the world. Those links are bound to be useful in one’s career. For people who want to learn, form fruitful friendships, encounter different cultures and explore Japan, I highly recommend IUJ. I am now writing my master's thesis on why a Japanese convenience store chain’s deployment of its business model in Kazakhstan proved to be unsuccessful.

Bolivia is a developing country with abundant natural resources. Japan is the opposite. So the idea was to study in Japan and then apply in Bolivia what I learned. After all, Japan is the home of industrial engineering. IUJ caught my eye because of the multicultural ambience, the curriculum geared to globalization, and the programs offered in English. What makes IUJ so special is that it offers students the best of Japan plus the best of the world. Programs incorporate the Japanese experience, but are enriched with a global perspective too, making what you learn relevant and applicable anywhere in the world. IUJ is a great place to network with capable people from around the world and IUJ’s careers advice service is very helpful: it gave me the opportunity to intern at three Japanese companies in my first year and get an attractive job offer before graduating. IUJ’s Japanese program helped me greatly improve my Japanese and prepare for interviews. I now work for a consulting firm where my clients are foreign companies that want to crack the Japanese market and Japanese firms heading overseas. In my free time, I mostly took part with my family in activities with the local community, which is very friendly and frequently organizes events to interact with foreign students, including rice harvesting, snow festivals, and visits to onsen (hot springs) among many others. I would definitely recommend IUJ to anyone wishing to study in Japan. You will not only get a great education, but also experience the best of Japan while taking a big stride toward becoming a business professional ready for the world.
