Establishing a New Global Standard from ASIA
Concept
〈 Nurturing Global Leaders for Multicultural Societies 〉
The trend in higher education is moving increasingly towards nurturing students to develop their competencies and their ability to work collaboratively across national and regional boundaries. Hence, in order to improve our international competitiveness, we need to gather outstanding students and leading researchers from across the globe and nurture human resources who, through cultural agility, are capable of taking not only global leadership roles that contribute to solving global issues and improving our future, but also the initiative to improve local communities with a global outlook. For this purpose, it is equally important to prove our presence in the global higher education market and enhance the internationality of our very own systems and organizational culture.
〈 Our Approach to Nurturing Global Graduates 〉
Nurturing Resilient Global Leaders
With regard to producing resilient global leaders who possess international views, we will expand our double degree programs with distinguished universities in the world, strongly supported by our excellent faculty members, powerful human network of our alumni, and our accreditation from AACSB international.
Supporting International Expansions of Japanese Businesses
With regard to providing support for international expansions of Japanese businesses, we will nurture human resource, which will powerfully support Japanese businesses in both domestic and oversea field. We will offer Japan-Global Development Program, creating teaching materials for e-learning and incorporating e-learning/blended learning models into Japanese language education along with establishing language education center, and promoting national staff training program and Japanese business practice education.
Building Human Resource Networks in the African States
With regard to building human resource networks in the African Union, we will be accepting students under the "Abe Initiative" scholarship program, building networks of African graduates with Ghana as the base, entering into student exchange program agreements with some of the top African universities, hosting information events that provide academic advice as well as course information, and running short-term programs by our academic staff at our host universities.
Expanding the Global Human Resource Development Program
With regard to the expansion of our Global Human Resource Development Program, through our newly established “Japan-Global Development Program,” which focuses on Japan’s experience in economic and societal development since the Meiji restoration, we will nurture future top leaders from abroad who will contribute to the advancement of developing countries and future professionals from Japan who will be able to explain Japan and its history better in the field of international cooperation and international business.
