SGX Professional Program (UITM-MBA/DBA)
A shift in awareness transforms the future. This is where that journey begins—from Japan.
SGX (Shibuya Global Executive) Professional Program is an executive programme that has been officially licensed by the University of Information Technology and Management (UITM) in Rzeszów, Poland. Participants can complete an MBA/DBA equivalent programme while studying in Japanese.
In Japan today, there is a serious shortage of professionals who can understand both "information technology" and "management" in an integrated manner and make decisions accordingly—driven by generative AI, digitalization, and industrial transformation. What Japan's future requires is the cultivation of "leaders of consciousness" who can integrate IT and management, grasp the essence of change, and take action. The SGX Professional Program is a new learning framework born from this imperative.
Since its founding, UITM has maintained a practical education philosophy centered on IT × Management. In recent years, the university has adopted an approach of "deeply integrating" generative AI into education rather than prohibiting it. Furthermore, UITM has been ranked 2nd in Poland in the UI GreenMetric World University Rankings (2024), earning recognition as a progressive institution that fuses sustainability with technology. The university's approach of treating AI as "a mirror that complements human thinking and reflects intellect" embodies the human-centered educational philosophy that runs throughout the institution.
Meanwhile, Shibuya Web3 University views cutting-edge technology not merely as a tool, but as "the power of implementation" that fundamentally rewrites the nature of society and organizations. The resonance between these two institutions has created an environment where Japanese executives can acquire "world-class intellect and a sustainable perspective" while remaining in Japan.
What we offer is not mere acquisition of knowledge. We separate the work that can be delegated to AI and concentrate full consciousness on "designing questions" and "creating meaning"—tasks that only humans can perform. Through this process, we expand the "vessel of consciousness" itself as a leader. This is the essence of the education that the SGX Professional Program aims to provide.
The Changing Nature of Learning
With generative AI, "preprocessing"—extensive reading, information organization, and structuring—has become a domain that humans no longer need to bear alone.
Because of this, human learning can now concentrate on the domains of thinking, reflection, future visioning, and meaning-making—areas where you think with your own mind and judge through your own will.
In the SGX Professional Program, we thoroughly utilize generative AI as a dialogue partner for thinking. Rather than blindly accepting what AI presents, you examine and choose for yourself. Through this repeated practice, your "vessel of consciousness for handling knowledge" is strengthened.
This is not mere efficiency improvement. It is a design to reclaim your time and consciousness for essential learning.

③ Enter the DBA directly
For those who already possess experience and roles equivalent to an MBA.
