Inquiries from Future Partners
Inquiries from Future Partners
We welcome inquiries from law or business schools interested in an exchange with the Department of Business Law.
As an institution that specializes in small-group learning, please understand that we only have limited capacity to add new partners. We prefer to ensure reciprocal benefit in our partnerships. In return for accepting your students for a semester abroad at our Department, we ask that you make a short-term intensive course available to our students. This is because our students are full-time working professionals pursuing graduate studies in the evenings on a part-time basis. They are generally unable to take time off work to spend a semester or a year overseas.
For inquiries, please contact Professor Leon Wolff, Chair of Global Business Law, at leon.wolff[a]r.hit-u.ac.jp.
