Master Program
Starting from the 2007 academic year, prospective candidates who have successfully passed the preliminary examination by the Japanese Embassy/Consulate are required to obtain a letter of acceptance from their potential supervisors (please see more details here)
The Graduate School of Economics, Kyoto University, offers a 2-year master program, leading to the degree MA in Economics. Teaching and supervision are conducted in Japanese. Only a limited number of courses are taught in English.
Within the master program, there are two subprograms as follows:
(1) Economics subprogram (in Japanese, “Hakase course”)
(2) Business/ Management subprogram (in Japanese, “Business Kagaku course”)
The main difference between these subprograms is that students who have successfully completed the Economics subprogram receive an automatic admission to the PhD program. Students who have successfully completed the Business subprogram and wish to be admitted to the PhD program must pass the entrance exams. Please note also that students who have successfully completed the Business subprogram receive the degree MA in Economics, not MBA.
