The undergraduate curriculum of the faculty has been developed with a genuine consideration of the needs of the business and industrial sectors, encompassing a wide range of disciplines. Students will receive integrated learning that enables them to understand business problems and apply academic knowledge to resolve issues effectively, while also providing opportunities for self-development on an international level through academic exchange programs, internships in leading organizations, and partnerships with globally recognized universities and business institutions to build networks and career opportunities internationally.
