Hitotsubashi receives the Campus Asia Grant to promote exchange between Japan, Korea and China
Hitotsubashi ICS announced that it was one of 10 university programs in Japan to receive the prestigious CAMPUS Asia grant. The CAMPUS Asia program is sponsored by the governments of Japan, China and Korea to encourage trilateral exchange of students and increased cooperation in higher education in East Asia. This was an extremely competitive program for which 50 programs applied.
The CAMPUS Asia grant will support activities associated with the BEST Business School Alliance between Hitotsubashi ICS, Peking University’s Guanghua School of Management and Seoul National University’s Graduate School of Business. Hitotsubashi partners in Beijing and Seoul also received grants from their governments to support their activities related to the BEST Business School Alliance. “We were the only schools of management or economics to receive this grant, a strong indication that the governments of these three countries consider us as the premier institutions developing global business leaders in East Asia.” said Christina Ahmadjian, Dean of Hitotsubashi ICS
The CAMPUS Asia funds will support the Asian Business Leaders Program. This includes exchange of students between the three business schools on a 1-term basis, and a new double-degree program that will enable students to spend a year at Hitotsubashi ICS and a year at either Seoul National University or Peking University, and receive degrees from each school. It will also fund an advisory board of business and government leaders from each country, and a bi-annual symposium in which academics and business leaders will discuss critical issues pertaining to the development of Asian business leaders. The CAMPUS Asia funds will also support a new course called Doing Business in Asia, in which students from Hitotsubashi ICS, Peking University and Seoul National University will spend one week in each other’s schools, to learn about business in each country, from top faculty of each school. The grant will also support administrative staff to keep the program running.
The funds from CAMPUS Asia will cover travel and living expenses as well as tuition for students involved in these various programs, making the opportunity to study in Beijing or Seoul very attractive to Hitotsubashi ICS.
