Master in Waseda-Nangyang Double MBA Program (English-based Degree Program)

The Waseda-Nangyang Double MBA Program is a two-year, English-taught master's degree offered by Waseda University in Tokyo, Japan, in partnership with a partner business school, with enrollment beginning each July. Waseda University is internationally recognized as one of the top private universities in Japan, based in central Tokyo. It is organized into 13 undergraduate schools and 20 graduate schools, enrolls over 47,000 students, and is the second-largest university in the country. The university has produced 8 prime ministers, and its alumni are active across many fields in Japan and internationally. Guided by its founder's ethos of harmonizing Eastern and Western cultures, Waseda has welcomed international students since its founding and describes itself as the most global-friendly university in Japan, enrolling around 8,000 students from more than 120 countries and regions in the 2019 academic year. As a double-degree MBA, this program combines business coursework and residencies at two institutions, allowing students to graduate with qualifications from both partner schools over two years of study. Curricula in double MBA programs typically cover core management subjects such as strategy, finance, marketing, and organizational behavior, alongside electives and a capstone project or thesis, with the dual structure intended to broaden students' exposure to different business environments and professional networks in Asia. The program requires applicants to have at least two years of full-time work experience, reflecting the expectation that MBA candidates bring professional background into classroom discussion. Based in central Tokyo, students also gain access to Japan's corporate and financial sector. Graduates of double MBA programs of this kind typically move into management, consulting, finance, or entrepreneurial roles that draw on both institutions' business training and networks.
