As part of its ongoing globalization efforts, Hosei University has newly launched in September two English-based degree programs to attract more students from overseas. These are the Global Business Program (GBP) in the Faculty of Business Administration and the Sustainability Co-creation Programme (SCOPE) in the Faculty of Sustainability Studies.

The GBP aims to develop human resources capable of managing globalized businesses in the 21st century. The course is conducted in English, and offers the opportunity to study the real-life practices of Japanese corporations engaged in global business management.

Kiho Takada is one of the first students who enrolled in the program this September. With a Malaysian mother and Japanese father, Takada was born and raised in Malaysia and this is the first time for her to spend a long time in her father's country.
