The "Parallel Degree Program (PDP)", an international program started by Musashi University in 2015, allows students to obtain degrees from both the University of London and Musashi University.Four years after it was introduced as Japan's first attempt, two of the first-year students who completed the course obtained a degree from the University of London.
The "Parallel Degree Program (PDP)" allows students to obtain bachelor's degrees from both universities by taking BSc (specialized education program) at the University of London and Musashi University in parallel while in Japan and passing both exams. ..We asked the two students who obtained the degree about their impressions of taking PDP and their future prospects.
“PDP was able to take classes with a small number of people, and I was blessed with the opportunity to actively ask questions because I was close to the professor.Since I had to take classes at two universities in a limited amount of time, I learned how to use my time in a planned manner.I often have discussions in class, which helped me to convey my opinion logically during job hunting interviews and group discussions.After graduating, I would like to take advantage of my experience at PDP and engage in work that has an impact on society. (PDP 2st gen member, from Shizuoka Prefectural Fuji Higashi High School)
“I was able to learn more by participating in PDP.Especially when studying abroad at the Singapore Institute of Management, I was able to grow significantly through my experience in a completely different environment from Japan. We are also proud to receive the First Class Honours rating.In the future, I would like to apply the knowledge I learned in PDP to play an active role in the marketing of many corporate products. (PDP 1st gen member, from Tokyo Metropolitan Fuji High School)
"The two are pioneers who have been working hard for four years," said the director of the PDP Education Center at Musashi University. We are committed to providing better lessons and programs for the next two students, and we expect the number of degree holders to increase next year and next year.We will continue to do our utmost to support students who want to seriously study global standard economics and business administration. 』And stated expectations and aspirations for future PDP.
