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.

The DBA Program

The Graduate School of International Corporate Strategy (ICS), Hitotsubashi University, began offering a doctoral degree program for business executives in October 2002. The Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) program, which is conducted in English and designed to provide business executives with doctoral-level education, is available at the university’s campus in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo.

Hitotsubashi ICS offers a DBA degree rather than a PhD (Doctor of Philosophy) degree, because a DBA program places more emphasis on business problem-solving and its practical implications, while a PhD degree is intended to provide the necessary theoretical and scientific foundation for an academic career.

The three-year DBA program accepts two categories of students. The first category includes individuals who are graduates of the MBA program at Hitotsubashi ICS. These students are required to spend three years of the program under the supervision of their faculty advisor as full-time students, devoting the second year mostly to doing research and developing their thesis proposals, and the third year to writing their theses.

The second category consists of business practitioners, who have received an MBA degree from other business schools, a Master’s degree other than an MBA, or those deemed qualified by the Admissions Committee for exceptional cases. These students will spend the three years of the program under the supervision of their faculty advisor as part-time students, devoting weekends and winter/spring/summer breaks to doing research and developing their thesis proposals, and writing their theses. DBA candidates in this category may work full-time, but they must maintain residency in Japan while they are enrolled in the DBA program. DBA students in this category may audit MBA courses in the ICS International Business Strategy Program, subject to approval by their advisor and the faculty member teaching the course.

Professor Christina Ahmadjian is Director of the DBA Program. Students may select any member of the ICS faculty as their thesis advisor, contingent on approval by the DBA Program Committee and the faculty member.

[Term 2] Intensive Writing (R. Davies) (2008/Term 1&2 (Fall&Winter))

Many of the classes that students take at ICS require a significant amount of writing in the form of term papers, reports, plans of action, and so forth. Intensive Writing is designed to provide students with support, instruction, and practice in completing these writing tasks.

During the Foundation Week, all students entering ICS are required to complete a writing assessment in order to identify those who are most in need of assistance in improving their writing skills in English (these students are required to take Intensive Writing; for others, participation is elective). Student writing samples will be assessed according to a multi-trait profile which provides diagnostic information along a spectrum of five categories: organization, language use and grammar, content, vocabulary, and mechanics. A detailed error analysis will also be conducted on the writing samples to determine specific areas that should be targeted for instruction. The lessons in this course are thus based on students’ writing needs, but will also address many other issues that are important in successfully completing coursework at ICS.
Course Structure

This course will meet once a week in four-hour sessions (2 x 2 hours: 13:30-15:30; 15:45-17:45) on Wednesday afternoons during Term 2.

The course is based on the premise that “you learn to write by writing,” so written assignments are an integral part of each and every class. Students will also be assigned longer writing assignments for homework every week, which will be corrected and evaluated in detail by their instructor.

The classes are structured in an integrated manner, with the content of the lessons linked to one another as much as possible. The focus of instruction will be both “top down” and “bottom up”; in other words, the emphasis will be on top-level organizational patterns and structures on the one hand, and sentence-level grammar and syntax on the other. In addition, various types of writing that are important for MBA students will be stressed, including summaries, paraphrases, critiques, and so forth.
