About APPP
The APPP classes are held on both the Kunitachi Main Campus and the Chiyoda Campus in central Tokyo.
The APPP students are based in a quiet and beautiful school city (Kunitachi) and can study a variety of subjects offered by programs other than public economics.
At the same time, APPP students can attend the most advanced lectures by instructors with a career in the subject area and by experts at the campus situated in Tokyo's business district.
Hitotsubashi University has its own dormitories on Kodaira Campus and Kunitachi campus. The dormitories offer comfortable accommodations and opportunities to interact with not only classmates but also with Japanese and international students enrolled in different courses at Hitotsubashi. APPP students will be able to stay in Residence Hall Ikkyo-Ryo upon enrollment until graduation, but the maximum stay is for two years.
