Introduction

SBJP (Study of Business in Japan Program) is a custom-made program designed for business students. SBJP is held at the Osaka Ibaraki Campus (OIC) of Ritsumeikan University. OIC is in Ibaraki City, Osaka Prefecture, one of the most populated prefectures in Japan and a hub for economy, industry, and world trade.

Through this short-term program, students will experience up-to-date Japanese business through case studies of various fields, lectures, and company tours.
