Kobe University, Japan
The Business Administration Department has been cooperating with the School of Business Administration at Kobe University since 2013. The university is a Japanese state university that was founded in 1949 and now consists of nine graduate schools and eleven faculties. The modern metropolis of Kobe, together with Osaka, Kyoto and Nara, forms the heart of the Kansai region.
The cooperation with the School of Business Administration focuses on Kobe University's MBA programme, the SESAMI programme. The exchange is therefore open to Master's students in Business Administration, especially those studying Management and FRS. Master's students in business informatics and business education can also apply.
Information about further partnerships with Japanese universities can be found in the Global Exchange Programme of Göttingen International.
