GLOBIS University’s Part-time MBA in English was launched in Tokyo in 2009, followed in 2012 by the Full-time MBA in English. Students have since come from 57 countries, including Japan, to acquire an MBA. In October 2017, the Online MBA Program was also launched in English, expanding the reach of GLOBIS University across the world. As of 2018, the cumulative enrollment across these English MBA programs has reached 597 students.

Meanwhile, Osaka has rapidly developed into an international metropolis with the fastest-growing rate of foreign visitors in the world.* GLOBIS University, seeking to likewise accelerate the development of business leaders across Asia and the world, aims to bring Osaka into its vision through the opening of the English MBA Program at the Osaka Campus in the January-to-March term of 2019.

The first course offered will be Essentials of Marketing and Strategy. The course term will be three months, with six lessons, each lasting three hours. As mentioned previously, the GLOBIS Pre-MBA allows students to start with enrollment in a single course, as well as transfer a portion of credits and tuition paid to any GLOBIS MBA program, including the programs conducted in Japanese.

GLOBIS invites all English-speaking businesspeople living in and around Osaka to further their understanding of business and management at the Osaka Campus. In addition to in-class opportunities, after-class social gatherings and study sessions help students network for future business collaboration. Those who choose to enroll in online courses can also take advantage of these international networks, and the GLOBIS global community, when visiting Osaka.
