In KIMAP (Kobe University Interdisciplinary Master Program) in Economics, Japanese and international students are expected to collaborate. During the master’s program, they all are required to study economics in English and write a master’s thesis in English. By overcoming differences in cultures and by fostering collaborative studies in economics, we aim to educate the student to become an economist or business person who can play an important role in a global setting.
Further, this master’s program is interdisciplinary and aims to develop professionals with multi- abilities to design and implement policies or strategies to solve social issues that we are facing in the modern era. While focusing on economics education, the program offers an interdisciplinary curriculum in cooperation with the Graduate Schools of Business Administration and Law, aiming to develop global professionals who can utilize knowledge and skills not only in the economics field but also in the law and business administration fields.
