Our teaching methods provide students with not only a solid knowledge foundation, but also an overview of real business cases and simulated business situations. Analyzing these actual cases stimulates students to practice their critical thinking, analysis, and creativity – and confidently offer their individual perspectives and propose decisions.

There are also internship programs at many domestic/international organizations and businesses available to students beginning in their third year of study. These activities offer students an opportunity to observe ‘real-world’ businesses, and gain an early perspective of the actual working environment. Therefore, students can prepare themselves with the necessary skills and knowledge to meet industry requirements in the global business environment after graduation.
