Graduate School Graduate School of Economics (Master's Program)

Economics and Business Administration 

Open graduate schools that respond to the tide of a new era

In addition to new university graduates, we have accepted and sent out a variety of members, including active members, retired employees, and international students from Korea and China, mainly in the Shimonoseki area. The special feature of this graduate school is the small number of students. We have established an environment in which graduate students can exchange opinions based on their knowledge and experience and stimulate each other, as well as a friendly support system in which professors conduct day and night lectures and research guidance.

We also provide research guidance and classes at night, Saturday, and holidays, which are easy for working students to learn. By combining intensive lectures during the holidays (summer and winter), we will organize a timetable that allows you to obtain the necessary credits.

I look forward to the challenge of everyone who is trying to improve their career at this graduate school.

Message from the President of the Graduate School

Professor Tsuyoshi Saruwatari

Today, with the aging of children and the advancement of globalization, Japan needs a high degree of dedicated professionals who have a dedicated knowledge to open up a new era. Shimonoseki City University Graduate School of Education and Economics, Graduate School of Economics aims to develop specialized professionals in the field of education and economics with Economic Community Systems and International Business Concentration.
If you are considering entering a graduate school after graduating from university, you have many possibilities. Possibilities are demonstrated in the challenge of various things. Please be interested in as many things as possible and continue to challenge boldly. Then, even if he fails, he analyzes why he did not work, and works to make use of that failure in the next challenge. Let's learn such thoughts and actions together at Shimonoseki City University Graduate School.

Theoretical research on accounting fraud issues - focusing on information disclosure systems -

After deciding to enter graduate school, I thought deeply about how to read related books and how to make use of what I learned in the seminar when preparing the research plan.
In the current research, "game theory" in the field of economics allows you to find out which one is best to choose if you have multiple options. We are also researching how to apply this field to prevent accounting fraud. It can be guessed that fraud will work because it feels great for the individual or company, but by introducing appropriate accounting regulations here, it is possible to prevent it beforehand. The concept of "game theory" can be applied to a wide range of businesses.
In the future, as an IT engineer, I will be involved in the work of supporting accounting firms and other organizations, but I would like to make full use of the knowledge I have gained through research and the knowledge I have acquired in IT, marketing, management theory, etc., to promote services.

Mr. Kiyomi Utagawa

Analysis of the effects of physical and human environmental factors on concept formation in 1.2 year olds-Focusing on CRAYON BOOK data-

During the operation of nursery schools, etc., there was no specific content on what kind of education was needed at the nursery site. . Therefore, I conducted a study with the aim of helping nursery teachers and child-rearing families by analyzing and considering using the tool "CRAYON BOOK" to visualize how children acquire growth in what environment. . Analyzing the behavior of children growing every day was often understood for the first time, such as not always the same results, but when the hypotheses made in the research and the analysis results were connected, such steady efforts were made to raise children I realized that it could be useful for raising children. In graduate school, I was able to deepen my learning with seminar members of different research content, age, and occupation, reaffirmed the meaning of the 100-year life and led to confidence.
Currently, I am managing it at childcare sites, and I would like to continue my research so that nursery teachers can understand and respond to the growth that has been visualized through research.

Research facilities

Graduate School Lecture Room, etc.

On the 3rd floor of Building II, there are two lecture rooms for graduate schools, an exercise room, and a joint laboratory that accommodates about 10 people each. Each room is equipped with desks, computers, lockers, tables, etc. This space allows students to engage in individual learning and research, rest between research and classes, and use it to interact with other students.
