The General Manager program at the NUCB Graduate School of Business is directed toward those business professionals who wish to develop and broaden their managerial competence by acquiring a better understanding of management practice and advance technical management skills. The General Manager program is also suitable for those with a scientific or engineering background who feel that their careers would benefit from a management education. Overall, the NUCB General Manager program is designed to provide the business knowledge and skills needed for the new international business environment that companies and firms find themselves in today. As the world becomes increasingly smaller through the development and proliferation of information and communication technologies, the local business manager is increasingly becoming an international business manager called upon to possess the international set of business skills that NUCB provides to all of its graduates.

The Junior Manager program at the NUCB Graduate School is designed for those individuals who desire to learn about business management, but to date have had no prior educational or professional business training and who may also be considering a change of career. The Junior Manager program offers a comprehensive coverage of management science for beginning business professionals through the use of an intensive case study approach to graduate business education. Students are introduced to the complex problems being faced by businesses in the 21st century and the solutions that are being proposed from around the world. The NUCB Graduate School is internationally accredited and educationally focused. The Junior Manager program is no exception and students are taught to take an international approach to their studies from the very beginning of their careers.

The Tax Accountant program at the NUCB Graduate School is the last of three specialized MBA programs and aims at fostering a tax accountant specialist with thorough knowledge of business management. As in all graduate programs at NUCB, the case study method is adopted in order to acquire practical skills based on real-world business problems and solutions. The NUCB Graduate School is the only graduate business school authorized to be a Certified Financial Planner in the region. With a thorough understanding of both modern tax accounting regulations and methods as well as management strategy, an NUCB Tax Accountant student graduating from NUCB is a valuable source of knowledge about modern financial planning, tax law, and leadership in both domestic and international business management. The Tax Accountant program at the NUCB Graduate School of Business continues to be our most popular MBA program in Japanese for both its range and applicability to the modern business profession.

This brand new residence has 44 individual rooms, a theater room, gym, seminar room, laundry facilities, library, and a dining room that will accommodate international faculty and students in an effort to expand the international research and scholarly initiatives of NUCB and the NUCB Graduate School of Business.

This Modern Japanese Style Residence has 44 individual rooms and Theater Room, Seminar Room, Fitness Gym, and Dining Room serving Breakfast on weekdays.

The students and the administrative staff at NUCB are great. They
welcomed me so cordially from the very first day and accompanied my
exciting journey through the Japanese world until the very last day. I
have learned so much, not only about Japan, its language, culture and
people but also about myself. I am very grateful to NUCB for this
extraordinary experience.

I have been interested in studying in Japan for quite some time and found that NUCB was truly a unique experience. The interaction with Japanese students is inspiring and helped me to understand the Japanese mentality in more detail. After having studied business in Germany I found the courses offered at NUCB very interesting especially because of the Japanese points of view on various issues. All in all I would love to come back to NUCB anytime.

I decided to go to Japan because I wanted to go to a unique country, and I've done the right choice. When I arrived, the cultural shock was great, but I've learned to admire the country and its people. Staying in Japan gave me a different perspective of  economics and politics which I'm sure will make a difference for my professional future.

Coming to Japan was a dream come true. Indeed, I've always been fascinated
by its delicate and refined Culture.
My stay at NUCB was wonderful and helped me find the path I want to
follow. This whole experience has opened my mind and let me learn more
about myself.

The NUCB Graduate School of Business hosted its annual Executive MBA Study Group from the Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University, Netherlands, from July 4th to 10th this past week.

The RSM Executive MBA Students attended lectures in Nagoya as well as in Tokyo and visited NEC, Yamazaki Mazak, Toyota, and Tokan as part of the greater Nagoya industrial sector.

A farewell party was held at the Nagoya Westin Castle Hotel on July 9th at which students had a rare chance to see Nihonbuyo (traditional Japanese dance in full costume and makeup) as performed by Ms. Toyoe Zuiho of Nagoya, a distinguished Nihonbuyo artist as well as a preservationist of traditional Japanese dance.

NUCB Graduate School of Business was delighted to host this important, annual educational and cultural exchange for the 6th year. All of us had a fun and informative week both inside and outside of the classroom!

Welcome to the exciting world of international exchange at NUCB. We are glad that you are considering an international exchange experience here with us in Japan.

Each academic year, we receive undergraduate and graduate students from around the world who have both a passionate interest in business in Asia as well as in Japanese culture. By choosing to study with us, you will be studying in a dynamic business power region with connections to the best in both traditional and modern Japanese art and culture, from ancient temples and shrines to the newest pop-trends in Japanese manga and anime.

Centrally located, Nagoya has been and still is today the heart of the transportation infrastructure for the country making travel to destinations fast and convenient within Japan, such as Kyoto, Osaka, and Tokyo as well as to destinations outside of Japan in greater Asia, such as Shanghai, Hong Kong, Seoul, Taipei, and Bangkok.

NUCB's undergraduate and graduate level classes in business offer students the chance to learn management from an Asian and Japanese perspective. Students are also given the opportunity to discover the historical roots and social trends upon which current business thinking in Asia is built with our selection of classes in Japanese and Asian culture. Each semester, business and culture classes open to international exchange students are conducted in English by NUCB faculty as well as by visiting faculty from our Partner Schools.
