During the thrilling conclusion of Fireside Chat 1, we had the incredible opportunity to unite aspiring MBA applicants with ICS alumni from different class years. Participants engaged in lively dialogues, discussing various aspects of the ICS culture, the student experience, and the MBA journey. Alumni panelists also shared valuable insights into how their post-ICS MBA experiences have contributed to their current successes in life.

During our recent online Open campus event, we had the pleasure of introducing participants to the vibrant culture of Hitotsubashi ICS, as well as providing insights into our MBA program and the unique offerings of our institution. One of the highlights was the opportunity for participants to delve into the world of Japanese Business and Economy (JBE), a signature course that forms an integral part of our MBA curriculum.

After having worked full-time for a few years, you may be looking for a new challenge in your career. Of course, you can simply try to get a promotion in the company you work for or find a job at a different company in a one-step-up role, but you might be interested in a more drastic change. Having some work experience is imperative, as MBA classes involve case-based discussions, so drawing on your professional experiences will contribute to peer learning.

As getting an MBA is a significant investment of both time and money, you may be considering multiple MBA programs in Japan and elsewhere to try and determine what will be the best option for you.
