Student life

At Hitotsubashi ICS, the class size is intentionally kept small to build and foster meaningful relationships with not just your classmates, but with faculty as well. What begin as acquaintances in September develops into life-long friendships, mentorships, or even business alliances. A keen sense of the Hitotsubashi ICS spirit is nurtured through class discussions, group projects, field experiences, and excursions outside the classroom.

We’re organized
With ten elected positions, the MBA Student Board offers students the opportunity to lead, support, and shape program activities throughout the year, such as Open Campus. Its contribution to the ICS experience has been extremely valuable over the years, as they embody and promote our positive, familial spirit.
We’re holistic
At Hitotsubashi ICS , we listen to our students, and see the whole picture of professional wellness. As a globally-minded institution, we maintain an inclusive learning environment where each individual can engage fully in all activities. Support systems and channels for “listening” help us do so.
  • We’re prepared
