OVERVIEW

The Graduate School of Economics offers three international programs: IPPE, IPFBE, and IPMA.

International Program in Public Economics: IPPE is designed for students who are interested in the application of modern economics to various public issues. It covers a variety of areas, including economic growth, macroeconomic policy, public finance, environment and resources, and social welfare. IPPE also offers lessons on mathematical and computational analyses on these issues.

International Program in Financial and Business Economics: IPFBE and International Program in Management and Accounting: IPMA are suitable for students who want to study business-related issues. IPFBE students study corporate finance, corporate governance, asset pricing, and various business-related disciplines, with an emphasis on data analytical training. IPMA students will concentrate on issues in business administration and accounting. For instance, the understanding of Japanese business management and human resource management are popular topics, as they are linked to the fundamental characteristics of Japanese society. Students of IPFBE are required to take IPMA subjects, and vice versa, to achieve a multidisciplinary understanding of business issues. IPFBE and IPMA students also have the privilege to take classes at Kyushu University Business School (QBS).

Student’s Voice

What is your research about?
Experience from being a production planning staff makes me highly appreciate knowledge sharing and support from domestic and foreign suppliers. However, in the theme of market knowledge, previous studies emphasized customers and competitors; while putting knowledge about suppliers aside. Then, I decided to pursue my higher degree in Japan, where values supplier connection and supplier network. My research would investigate the impact of market knowledge from both upward and downward partners in the supply chain on performance via various business processes. With guidance from my supervisor, Associate Professor Nakamoto Ryuichi, I would analyze data collecting from the questionnaire by R with structural equation modelling as a fundamental technique.
What is an advantage of Kyushu University?
I am grateful for the supportive community on the campus; including, the admission board and supporter system to adapt to a new life in Japan, the Student Section for a tuition fee exemption, scholarship, or housing guarantor, KUFSA for student extra-curricular activities, QREC for entrepreneurship guidance, especially my professor for academic guidance and research funding.
