The following is an introduction to the Evening Graduate School for working students and the Law School at the Graduate School of Business Sciences. The professional degree programs emphasize practical training and education and aim at producing human resources with highly specialized professional abilities.

The demand for legal qualifications has been increasing among enterprises, government offices, and working individuals because there has been greater mobility in employment recently.
The Law School Program was established as an evening graduate school, for working individuals who are aiming for a career change by making the best of their social experience of legal education. The program aims to provide high quality and wide-ranging education relating to jurisprudence which is based on judicial practice.
We offer a variety of advanced courses including, for example, Global Business, Intellectual Property, and Social Security. Our aim is to train legal professionals with a high degree of expertise.

This is a new program that was started on the Tokyo campus in April 2005. Currently employed persons with relatively little actual office experience are given the opportunity to take lessons from a diverse team of instructors, including foreign instructors and members of the Japanese business elite. Interactive classes are taught in Japanese and English.
In addition, to convert the knowledge and skills acquired from the classes into practical management techniques, there is also a 3-month practical training program which can include overseas internships and projects in companies. In this way, it is possible to train three types of professional managers to take on the responsibilities of tomorrow's international management. These three types are "business managers", who manage a company's organization; "country managers", who handle the management of overseas offices; and "functional managers" who can manage pan-regional projects.
