Economics and Business Administration 

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

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

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

We look forward to the challenge of your career at our Graduate School.

Message from the Graduate School

Professor Tsuyoshi Saruwatari

Today, Japan, which is aging and globalization, requires highly specialized professionals with specialized knowledge to open up a new era. Graduate School of Economics, Shimonoseki City University Graduate School of Economic Community Systems and International Business Concentration and the field of education and economics, aims to train professional professionals and professionals.
If you are considering going to graduate school after graduating from university, you have many potential. The possibilities are demonstrated in the process of challenging a variety of things. Please be interested in as many things as possible and continue to be boldly challenging. Then, even if it failed, we analyze why it didn't work, and try to make use of the failure to make use of the failure in the next challenge. Let's study this kind of thinking and behavior at Shimonoseki City University Graduate School.

Mr. Ryuichi Shibata

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

When I decided to go to graduate school, I thought deeply about how to read related books and how to make use of what I learned in the seminar.
Currently, in the research I am doing, using "game theory" in the field of economics, you can find which one is best to choose if there are multiple options. We are also conducting research on how to prevent accounting fraud by applying this field. It can be speculated that it will cause fraud because it feels great benefits for individuals and companies, but by introducing appropriate accounting regulations here, it can be prevented beforehand. The concept of “game theory” can be widely applied to business.
In the future, as an IT engineer, I will be involved in supporting accounting firms, but I would like to make full use of the knowledge gained through research and knowledge acquired in IT, marketing, and management theory to promote services.

Graduates VOICE

Mr. Kiyomi Utagawa

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

During the operation of nursery schools, etc., no specific content was shown on what kind of education was needed at the nursery. Therefore, we conducted research with the aim of helping nursery teachers and child-rearing families by analyzing and considering using the "CRAYON BOOK", a tool that visualizes what environment children grow up. It was often understood for the first time that the analysis of the behavior of children who grow up every day was not always the same result, but when the hypothesis created in research and the analysis results, I realized that these steady efforts could be useful for raising children. At graduate school, I was able to deepen my learning with seminar members of different research content, age, and occupation, reaffirming the meaning of the 100-year life era 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 I have been able to visualize through research.

Research facilities

Lecture Rooms, etc.

On the 3rd floor of the Main Building II Building, there are two lecture rooms and exercise rooms for graduate schools, and two joint laboratories that can accommodate around 10 people each. Each room is equipped with desks, computers, lockers, tables, etc. This space allows students to engage in individual learning and research, as well as rest between research and classes, and to interact with other students.
