Unshakable intellectual legitimacy — Why MBA/DBA Equivalent Programmes Based on European Standards Can Be Completed in Japan

What you are trying to gain is not just knowledge or a Japanese title, but "global intellectual legitimacy" recognized by the global economy and academic community.


International professional programmes have complex structures that differ from Japan's educational system.This page transparently proves that the SGX Professional Program is based on the legal and institutional trust of the solid framework of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA).

Liberalizing Education Across Borders: The Bologna Process Guarantees "Learner Sovereignty"

At the core of European higher education is the idea of "liberalizing learning across borders," which is based on the learner-centered philosophy that people should be able to access advanced education without being tied down by work, family, or place of residence.


To realize this idea, a huge framework known as the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) has been formed in Europe through the Bologna Process.

The role of the EHEA (European Higher Education Area)

 

  • Mutual recognition of degrees: guarantees the compatibility of degrees and credits between member countries

  • Standardization of quality assurance (QA): Thorough quality control based on international standards (ESG)

  • Transparency of qualifications: Mandatory issuance of diploma supplements etc. to make the content and level of degrees clear worldwide

 

The MBA/DBA equivalent programmes offered by UITM are recognized internationally within this EHEA framework as professional education at the "Second Cycle (Master's equivalent)" or "Third Cycle (Doctoral equivalent)" level.

Validation Programme
--An international standard system that separates "giving" and "provision"

The SGX Professional Program is based on the Validation Programme, or licensing model, which is one of the most trusted forms of international higher education.

​

This system clearly separates the roles of "the university that awards the certificate (UITM)" and "the organization that delivers the programme (Shibuya Web3 University Co., Ltd.)," localizing the learning environment while maintaining programme quality at global standards.

SGX Professional Program Roles

 

UITM (University of Information Technology and Management)

Programme Owner and Licensor

​

  • Role: Awarding of certificates, final curriculum decisions, final approval of faculty and students, ultimate quality assurance (QA)

  • Result: Graduates receive an official certificate (Certificate of Completion/Diploma) issued in the name of UITM's President

​

Shibuya Web3 University Co., Ltd. (SGX Professional Program)

UITM licensed program provider

 

  • Role: Japanese language operation, optimization of learning environment, provision of lectures, management of online learning platform, student support

  • Result: You will be able to study at the graduate level in an English-speaking/European environment while staying in Japan.

 

The system is based on brand expression and division of roles officially approved by the UITM Academic Committee, giving it unshakable legitimacy.

International Framework
— A Quality Assurance Structure Aligned with the Bologna Process

UITM, the foundation of the SGX Professional Program, delivers education under a quality assurance framework aligned with the Bologna Process within the European Higher Education Area (EHEA).

UITM's Institutional Foundation​

​

Bologna Process Alignment: Provides internationally compatible education based on the common standards of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA)

​

Conformity to European Standards and Guidelines (ESG): Maintains educational quality in line with the common quality assurance standards for higher education in Europe

This programme is delivered within this international framework.

The value of a degree is determined by academic achievement and quality assurance, not by the type of teaching

In Europe, the principle that "academic outcomes and quality assurance—not the mode of instruction (online/in-person)—determine the value of a degree" is well established, and there is no difference in the legal validity of degrees.


The hybrid learning environment offered by the SGX Professional Program, which allows participation both online and in-person, holds the same degree value as in-person-only programs, as long as it meets UITM's quality assurance standards.

The Value of Intelligence and the Meaning of Choice: Connecting the International Standard of Future Intelligence to Your Career

In the Japanese system, the terms "MBA" and "DBA" do not exist as legal degree categories, but are used as nicknames for a variety of degrees, such as "Master of Business Administration (Professional)."

On the other hand, what the SGX Professional Program offers is a certificate of completion for a professional programme based on European standards (Certificate of Completion/Diploma), which differs from Japan's legal structure.

The SGX Professional Program integrates "European orthodoxy" and "Japanese implementation culture" to provide you with a solid foundation for competing on the international stage.

Intelligence recognized by the world.

Step into this structure of trust as a leader who creates their own future. Your evolution begins here.
