Waseda University, including WBS, boasts the largest scale alumni network in Japan. Being a graduate of Waseda University opens doors of opportunity for business in Japan.

Student Interaction between Japanese-taught and English-taught classes

Although this program can be completed by taking all courses taught in English, some bilingual courses are offered on a pass/fail basis to facilitate interaction among Japanese and international students. In these courses, students can participate in either English or in Japanese as instructors summarize and translate in both languages. Additionally, students who have or develop competencies in the Japanese language can enroll in courses conducted in Japanese. This unique system will give students the opportunity to learn about Japan and various countries in Asia.

Unique Seminar System

Students choose a Zemi (seminar) class, which consists of a small group gathering with the same specific field that members would like to research. Each zemi is led by a professor who specializes in each field, and students are required to discuss and research with their fellow members. Students can extend their knowledge and at the same time establish a high-quality cross-cultural human network.
