Life in the Heart of Asia
La Ode Rendrian Maharsya(Indonesia)
CISION PR Newswire Asia
IRP, Class of 2013

Living in Urasa, and studying at IUJ in particular, might be the most memorable two years in my life. Not only did I have a chance
to study from the prominent lecturers in the IRP Program, but I was also able to have countryside experiences and build
friendships with the local people.
Urasa and its surrounding mountains offer the Sakura beauty of Spring, the romantic 3 colors Koyo ( 紅葉 ) of Autumn, and themagnificent land of snow (Yukiguni) in Winter. For potential IUJ students, you will regret it if you don’t take some time toexperience these wonders. I made friends with a local farmer, who eventually became a business partner, and we are still friends
today.
I was lucky enough to be a recipient of the Niigata International Association (NIA) Scholarship. However, I also needed to take onpart-time jobs to cover my living costs. Nonetheless, I eventually realized that this was a blessing in disguise!
During my time at IUJ, I participated in a variety of extracurricular and off-campus programs. These included being a guest teacher
at nearby schools, serving as a member of the Graduate Students Organization (GSO), introducing my traditional culture to others,
and assisting in local festivals. Not only did these activities contribute to my financial stability, but also enabled me to balance myacademic and non-academic life. This helped me to practice the Japanese language and learn about Japanese culture, which has
proven useful for my professional career.
IUJ’s Student Services Office supports every student in their search for fulfilling employment : from getting an internship to
landing their dream job. IUJ helped me to find a very well paid summer project in a Japanese logistics company in my hometown(Jakarta) at the end of my first year of study. With my master's degree and my much improved Japanese skills, it didn’t take longfor me to find work. In fact, right after I graduated, I was accepted at one of Japan’s largest trading companies! And the rest is
history!

2 Global Experience in JapanMy IUJ experience from 2019 to 2021 taught me to know myself better and to use this knowledge to leverage my strengths andgrasp my weaknesses, enabling me to improve one step at a time. In IUJ, students are exposed to contrasting cultures andupbringing, sometimes even within their national communities. Such exposure helps one to re-evaluate their thought processes
and gain independence. Knowing your values and how you operate is fundamental to confidence building so that, no matter where
you go, you can stay true to yourself while adding value to any community.
IUJ’s 2-year MBA program offers a comfortable and productive environment to learn to interact with people and listen to others aspart of the communication process. The program’s group-centric approach lets you simulate real-life corporate discussions
especially when diverse groups are involved in a project. Developing strong communication skills can help you in your career as you
understand that perfect grammar and language are not the most important factors when conveying a message. You can have thebrightest idea in a group, but if you do not know how to share and make the people around you understand your vision, it will bedifficult to shine. Engage yourself in open conversations, learn from others, and embrace the chaos different perspectives offer. It
is much better and easier to hone your conflict management skills in an academic environment when key performance indicators(KPIs) and corporate targets do not add to the pressure. Furthermore, I have learned while doing my graduation research report
that, when multicultural groups (as compared to homogenous groups) first work together, they tend to be inefficient. This is due tomembers’ conflicting management and communication styles. However, when these hurdles are overcome, improved productivity
is achieved.
Whether they want to stay in Japan or another country, I believe IUJ students can position the university’s multicultural experienceto their advantage as more corporate strategies are headed toward diversity and inclusion. For those who see themselves staying
in Japan, it is definitely beneficial to study the language as much as you can. Most Japanese companies are still in the early stagesof this global change, so it will be less frustrating if you can equip yourself with all the tools on offer to students at IUJ.

GSIM

Leverage emerging markets for global advantage
Since its founding as the first US-style business school in Japan, IUJ’s MBA program has bridged management thinking between
international and Japanese business communities. It has helped international students access Japanese job markets and Japanesecompanies expand their business to global markets. Leading the fast-changing environment, it has developed the latest rigorous ideas
and disseminated them widely. As a result, the program has earned much recognitions from outside accreditors like The Economist's"Top 100 Business Schools" and AACSB International, not to mention praise from its stakeholders.
The curriculum emphasizes ‘Leveraging Emerging Markets for Global Advantage’. It focuses on the knowledge, skills, and mindset
required to take the best advantage of the world's fastest-growing economies. Updated program contents have added a new criticalelement that exposes students to the impact of digital transformation and the 4 th industrial revolution to better handle technologicalchallenges. The program also integrates socially responsible business leadership into the curriculum and supports sustainable growthand development.
The first year of the MBA Program is devoted to foundation building. Students tackle the essentials of management with an emphasis on
global leadership and emerging markets through case studies that regularly include cases on business in Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
In addition, with case-based group discussions, students experience cross-culture communication and global team leadership. Students
begin to customize their courses for their career goals from the Spring term in the first year and choose one or more specialization paths.
They are also encouraged to take part in the solid Japanese language program offered by our dedicated faculty to blend smoothly into
Japanese corporate culture and enhance their employability.

Educating innovative and responsible leaders equipped with a global network
The COVID Pandemic and rapid digitalization of business processes are inducing a paradigm shift in the way we conduct business.
Corporations are placing increasing emphasis on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues. The post-COVID-19 businessenvironment requires managers to be cognizant of ESG issues and integrate them into business performance. IUJ's IMBA program
prepares future leaders to meet these new challenges.
The 12-month IMBA program curriculum is compact, rigorous, and demanding. We believe in building core competencies that enable
managers to dive deeply into innovative business solutions for their business. At IUJ, cases are used to better prepare managers to apply
what they have learned to real business situations. The cases focus on issues in both advanced economies and emerging markets in Asia,
Africa, and Latin America. At IUJ, students from diverse nationalities work, play, and learn together on a daily basis. Summer capstone
courses are the final wrap-up for the IMBA program.
An IUJ graduate gains the unique benefit of establishing a global network with classmates hailing from over 70 countries. Our alumni
services allow our graduates to access our strong IUJ alumni network and to participate in seminar series focused on current trending
topics. Join our IUJ family and immerse yourself in a fun place where the world gathers to acquire new professional skills and develop
life-long relationships.

and guest speakers from across the world. The pedagogy includes case methods, simulations, and team projects. Our graduates gain
hands-on experience with new digital technologies (e.g., data science, Big Data, AI, blockchain, AI, cloud computing, cybersecurity, etc.).
They also learn digital business models, entrepreneurship, digital strategies, organizational design for digital transformation, FinTech,

JGDP Japan-Global Development Program

GSIR GSIM

Learning Universal Logic in Development, grounded in the Japanese experience
The Japan-Global Development Program (JGDP) is a program jointly implemented and managed by the Japan International Cooperation Agency(JICA) and the International University of Japan as part of the JICA Development Studies Program (JICA-DSP). It aims to provide an opportunity tolearn universal development and growth logic across the fields of politics, economics, and management, using Japan's experiences in economic
development and corporate growth as basic case materials. The JGDP is an international human resource development program introduced by
IUJ as the first joint program between GSIR and GSIM. Its outstanding characteristics are:
1. International students learn logic and lessons in development from Japan’s experiences (both successes and failures) and acquire knowledge
and skills to consider developing strategies for their homelands.
2. Japanese students develop the ability to explain the logic of Japanese development in English by learning about Japan's experiences. With thatskill, they are able to communicate their knowledge with the world.
3. Students who will work in the international arena in the future learn the universal logic of economic development and corporate growth using
Japan’s experiences as case materials.
The JGDP is not intended to be a program that trains Japanese specialists. The logic and lessons from Japan’s experiences will help future leadersfrom abroad as they think about strategies for development back home. Thus, the logic behind Japan’s experiences can be applied to various
global scenarios. That is why we call this program the Japan-Global Development Program. It enables Japanese students to explain their country’s
development logically when they go abroad and helps them play an active role as global leaders.
Depending on the students’ wishes, they can select an area of concentration from those presented in the following table and choose the school
to which they want to belong. As such, those who choose “Foreign Policy”, “Economic Policy”, “Development Policy”, or “Public Management”
are part of GSIR, and those who choose “Management” become a member of GSIM.

Career Support

IUJ Alumni ﬂourish globally!
I’m working for Nissan Motor Corporation and am responsible for the development,
maintenance, and utilization of databases for the investment management of new
products.
As soon as I had enrolled in IUJ, I was motivated to gain a strong foundation in accounts andfinance, to establish networks and connections, and to develop interpersonal andleadership skills. I have achieved them all through compact classes, the professors’
dedication toward students, the multi-cultural environment at IUJ, as well as theopportunities for vivid experiences. Also, through my role as a Teaching Assistant, Tutor,
Facilitator, IT Help Desk Support, and House Captain within my two years of study, IUJ gave

me opportunities that I might not have acquired otherwise.
In my day-to-day work, I am using the Statistics and Econometrics knowledge along withthe relationship-building skills I gained at IUJ to develop a positive association with people
around me. My current goal is to have deeper insights into my job role and develop
relevant skills and knowledge. Just as I did while at IUJ, I wish to continue learning andgrowing both personally, and professionally as it will keep me open to new experiences andchallenges.

President’s Message / About IUJ“Where the World Cooperates”
Despite its location in Japan, our language of instruction is English only and our programs
provide the world standard graduate education in the field of international relations andinternational management. Close to 90% of our students are from overseas (80% of themfrom Asia and Africa).
For such a unique university, we have established the following three major concepts toguide our education.

1. We want to be a place where the student can learn both about the world and about
Japan in English.
2. We want to be a place where the world cooperates, i.e., where people from manydifferent cultures understand each other and learn international cooperationIUJ President

Hiroyuki Itami

3. We want to be a university that interacts very naturally with the local community sothat our students can learn the history, culture, and values of Japan by living on
campus.
This is such a unique learning environment no other Japanese university can offer. With
this education, we hope our students can grow to become true global leaders with astrong orientation for international cooperation.
Two years ago, we began to increase the number of our own 100% tuition scholarships
quite significantly. We welcome you to both the rewards and challenges of studying at
IUJ!

About IUJThe International University of Japan (IUJ) was created in 1982, as Japan’s first
graduate-school-only university, by bold leaders with a unique vision
representing businesses, governments, and world organizations.
IUJ equips students with interdisciplinary skills in politics, economics, andmanagement, as well as historical and cultural perspectives to take on current
global issues in their chosen profession.
Offering an English-only curriculum to students from 70 countries taught by ahighly qualified faculty, IUJ boasts master’s and doctoral degree in two
graduate schools:
GSIR - Graduate School of International Relations
GSIM - Graduate School of International Management
With active interdisciplinary research initiatives and an interactive alumni
network of more than 5,000 graduates from 143 countries and regions, IUJ is
making effective use of our global outreach to link up world organizations,businesses, and governments both in and outside of Japan.
