Yes, you can combine electives from multiple areas, but we recommend selecting one primary focus for depth.
Our concept
Our English-taught and American-inspired flexible study programs allow students to customize their studies by choosing courses based on program requirements, previous studies, current interests and future ambitions.
The multiple starting dates in our quarter and term-based academic calendar allow students to start their education in the fall, winter, spring or summer of each academic year. Students can join our rolling cohorts up to 8 times per year.
Offering a unique multi-campus experience, students can transfer between campuses in Europe and Japan, as well as Online, on a quarterly basis and with guaranteed program compatibility.
Our truly global community is made up of students, faculty and team members of over 100+ nationalities from around the world. Such demographic diversity provides for a near-unmatched cross-cultural learning environment in which students attain new insights from different perspectives.
Our professionally-oriented programs cater to specific career paths, allowing students to specialize. Academically-qualified and professionally-experienced faculty members link theory and practice with a hands-on and contemporary learning experience tailored to real-world applications.
Our small class sizes allow for interactive and innovative education methods, thereby providing students with personalized attention, increased group interaction, improved group dynamics and long-lasting connections.
