Junken Ito
Graduated Faculty of Commerce and Business Administration Department of Commerce, March 2024.
Miyagi Prefecture
Graduated from Sendai City Commercial High School
Multiple-choice and essay-style exams; passed after graduating from university.
A fulfilling learning environment and financial support
The appeal of Chiba University of Commerce
Because the essay-style exam covers more subjects than the multiple-choice exam, the time available for each subject is shorter, making it difficult to feel a sense of progress. Maintaining motivation was challenging, but what motivated me to persevere to the end was the presence of classmates who were seriously working towards the same goal. The environment of being able to study together in a dedicated study room was a great support. Another attractive aspect of Chiba University of Commerce is the generous financial support, including subsidies for tuition fees at affiliated professional educational institutions. Eliminating financial worries allowed me to concentrate on my studies. Currently, I am gaining practical experience at an auditing firm while deepening my studies in preparation for the final examination.

Passed the short answer test!
Yoshinari Yamamoto
Fourth year student Faculty of Commerce and Business Administration, Faculty of Commerce Department of Commerce
Chiba Prefecture
Graduate of Funabashi Municipal High School
I passed the short-answer exam when I was a third-year university student.
With teammates who have high goals
It's an environment where we can learn from and inspire each other.
I passed the Level 2 Nissei Bookkeeping Examination in my second year of high school. I became interested in becoming a certified public accountant, a profession that allows me to utilize my bookkeeping skills and has the exclusive right to perform auditing duties. There was always someone studying in the dedicated study room, which motivated me to think, "I can't fall behind." I also had the opportunity to interact with graduates who were working as accountants, which helped me visualize how what I was learning would connect to practical work. During a period when I was struggling and worried, I was supported by the encouraging words of a senior student who said, "If you really want to pass, you will, so don't worry." Currently, I am studying hard for the essay-style exam. I will continue to work hard so that I can catch up to the senior student I admire.
