Exploring the World Through an International Campus in Japan

I decided to pursue a master’s degree not only to expand my future career opportunities, but also to build on my bachelor’s studies in a more practical and global context. I chose IUJ because it offers international relations courses in English, Japanese language classes, and a truly international learning environment in Japan. Studying at IUJ has allowed me to learn alongside students and professors from diverse backgrounds, which has been invaluable for understanding the world from different perspectives. Although campus life in rural Minamiuonuma was very different from an urban university, the strong student community, active associations, and support from IUJ staff made the experience rewarding. Living close to nature also added a unique balance to my studies. After graduation, I hope to work for an international organization, possibly in Japan. My advice to prospective students is to prepare for life in the countryside, embrace the winter, and fully enjoy IUJ’s vibrant community and opportunities.

国際関係学プログラムとは

Seeking Global Connections and Professional Growth in Japan

I wanted to expand my knowledge and skills in economics, so I decided to pursue my Master's degree at IUJ. Since IUJ is comprised of students from different parts of the world, I had the opportunity to become friends with people from diverse cultures and learn from their global experiences.My interest in global development and economic issues aligns with my major, International Development Program (IDP), making my studies meaningful. Thanks to the supportive environment here at IUJ, I have developed significantly since my first day here, both personally and academically. After graduating, I intend to work here in Japan and continue improving myself in order to fulfill my personal goals. For prospective IUJ students, I believe this is the best university to learn and connect with each other, while at the same time enjoying nature and creating many unforgettable memories together.

Advancing Policy Skills for Better Governance in the Philippines

Driven by a strong interest in public investment and policy evaluation, I chose to pursue a master’s degree to strengthen my analytical and evidence-based policymaking skills. I selected IUJ’s Public Management and Policy Analysis Program because of its multicultural academic environment and its focus on government innovation and leadership. Through rigorous coursework, active discussions with professors and peers, and hands-on research, I have built a solid foundation in economics and quantitative analysis while gaining new perspectives on public policy and governance. Serving on the student council also enhanced my leadership and community engagement skills. Living in rural Japan offered valuable time for reflection and personal growth. After graduation, I aim to contribute to more inclusive public policies and collaborate with international and development partners. My advice to prospective students is to clearly understand your purpose, learn from IUJ’s diverse community, and embrace this unique environment for growth and reflection.

公共経営・政策分析プログラムとは

多国籍な環境で世界を知り、自分なりの正解を見つける

2022年2月24日にロシアのウクライナ侵攻が始まった時、私は衝撃を受けました。同時に、戦争反対の意思表示をするだけでなく、ロシアは世界をどのように見ているのかを知り、その上でこの戦争に対する自分の考えを持ちたいと考えるようになりました。幸運にも、国際大学には専門の先生や環境が整っています。1つの国籍が授業の大多数を占めるということがないため、授業での議論は非常に有意義です。国際関係学には「正解」がないからこそ、異なる考えを持つ様々な人たちと意見交換できるIUJは、自分なりの正解にたどり着ける学びの場だと思います。

Driving Student Mobility Between India and the World

I decided to pursue my Master’s degree to deepen my understanding of international relations and gain the skills needed to contribute meaningfully to global education mobility. I chose the International University of Japan for its diverse community, strong academic reputation, and practical, globally focused curriculum that aligns with my career goals. Living and studying here has expanded my worldview, strengthened my analytical abilities, and taught me to collaborate effectively across cultures. After graduation, I aim to work in international education and promote student mobility between India and other countries. To prospective students, I strongly recommend IUJ for its immersive global environment and the personal and professional growth it enables.

MBAプログラムとは

ビジネスを体系的に学び直し、確かな意思決定力を養う

修士課程を志したのは、経験則に依存した判断から脱し、理論に基づく再現性ある意思決定力を身につけたいと考えたためです。実務では知識のインプットとアウトプットを繰り返す一方で、知見が断片的に蓄積されている感覚がありました。こうした経験から、一度立ち止まって、ビジネスを体系的に学び直す必要性を強く認識するようになりました。その想いがMBA取得を目指す大きな契機となりました。国際大学には、国際色豊かな学友と切磋琢磨し合える理想的な環境があります。ぜひこの学舎の門戸を叩いてみてください。きっと将来にわたって糧となる経験が得られるはずです。

Developing Better Judgment to Lead Organizations with Strategy

When I started my Master’s degree, I didn’t just want a “better job”; I wanted better judgment. I want to lead with clarity, make decisions with data, and understand how strategy, people, and execution actually come together in the real world.I chose IUJ and the JGDP (MBA) because it’s a truly global classroom in Japan; practical, intense, and built around discussion, teamwork, and problem-solving, not just textbooks. Life here has changed me in small daily ways that add up: stronger discipline, sharper communication, and a calmer, more resilient mindset under pressure. I’ve learned to collaborate across cultures and turn ideas into action.After IUJ, my goal is to advance our understanding of socialization, culture, and management practices by continuing my current research into the subject.

Mastering Digital Transformation for the Future of Vietnam

I chose to pursue graduate studies because, with a business background, I wanted to understand digital transformation more deeply and see how it really shapes organizations. IUJ felt like the right place—top program, diverse community, and professors who are truly supportive. Living and studying here has helped me grow a lot: learning from different cultures, dealing with real business issues, and getting clear guidance for my thesis. After graduation, I hope to return to Vietnam and contribute to the country’s fast-moving digital transformation, especially in areas like FinTech. For future students, IUJ is a great journey—stay open, be kind, embrace differences, and work hard; you’ll grow more than you expect.

国際関係学と経営学を学び、再びアフリカの現場へ

JICA海外協力隊としてウガンダで活動した経験から、国際協力の実務に携わるには、改めて学び直す必要があると感じ進学を決意しました。英語で学べる国際色豊かな環境と、国際関係学と経営学を横断的に学べる国際社会起業家プログラムに魅力を感じ、国際大学を選びました。多様な背景を持つ仲間との議論を通じて主体的に発言する力が身についたと実感しています。修了後は、ここでの学びを活かし、再びアフリカの現場で国際開発の新たな形を実践していきたいと考えています。

Strengthening Research Training to Inform Evidence-Based Policy

My enthusiasm for teaching and research has shaped my academic path. Before joining IUJ, I worked as a research fellow at a research institute and as a teaching assistant at the University of Mandalay in Myanmar for two years. To strengthen my research skills and deepen subject knowledge, I pursued my doctoral studies at the International University of Japan.I chose IUJ for its exceptional research training, wide-ranging courses, and vibrant international community. The Ph.D. program immerses students in both theory and practice during the first year, then empowers them to pursue research in the following years. My time at IUJ was transformative, driving both my academic and personal growth. Throughout my Ph.D. journey, I had the opportunity to publish two articles with my supervisor in an international peer-reviewed journal. I also broadened my teaching skills by serving as a teaching assistant at IUJ and as an assistant English teacher at a nearby high school.Upon graduating from IUJ, I aspire to become a teacher or a researcher who can advance evidence-based policy development.If you are eager to build strong research skills and deepen your subject knowledge under the guidance of excellent faculty, the Ph.D. program at IUJ is an excellent choice.
