The Graduate School of Management (GSM) established an exchange agreement with the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM), Kulliyyah of Architecture & Environmental Design on January 12, 2010. This agreement was established as a result of the achievements of the GSM Professor Kiyoshi Kobayashi of the Project Operations Management program, who has actively interacted with the IIUM in such areas as joint venture, asset management and Isamic project contracts. The exchanges in joint research, facilitation of international symposiums, and exchange though researchers and students have led to the establishment of this cooperative agreement.

Following this agreement, the new Global 30 International Project Management Course scheduled to start in 2011 will offer international internships to be located at the IIUM. We are looking forward to the continued development of our relationship with the IIUM.
