View Learning:Graduate Programs
Instead of studying a correspondence graduate programme offered by your home country, you may want to investigate one of the several graduate programmes for foreigners available throughout Japan that are conducted in English. Apart from the sense of personal satisfaction, completing a graduate programme can greatly increase your job prospects both in Japan and at home.
Not only can you discover a Japan outside of the hustle and bustle of Tokyo’s business world NOT the real Japan but you can also meet people from SO many cultures while advancing your own studies.
A variety of courses are available, although those most popular with Western women are business, Japanese language, or education related. You can study full time or part time, for several weeks or for years. Non-degree courses are available, as well as master’ s or doctorate degrees.
Short courses (e.g., eight weeks) resulting in certification tend to be reasonably priced (around ¥40,000), although degrees tend to be expensive. For an MBA you can expect to pay several million yen. Sponsorships are also available; check with the individual universities and organisations in your home country.
