Hi all,
I’m planning to apply to Sophia University’s Graduate Program in Global Studies (International Business and Development Studies) and wanted to hear from anyone who has experience with the program or its admissions process.
A few things I’m curious about:
How competitive was it when you applied, or is it considered tough to get into?
What was your academic/professional background like when you applied?
Did you feel the admissions decision was based more on GPA, SOP, experience, or something else?
Is the program entirely in English, and how is the overall experience (internships, faculty, job opportunities, etc.)?
I know the intake is small (around 15 students per semester), so I’m trying to get a realistic idea of expectations before I apply and pay the ¥35,000 fee.
Would really appreciate any insights from former/current students or applicants 🙏
