I participated virtually in the 10th International Conference on Advanced Research in Teaching and Education, held in Bangkok, Thailand, from November 7 (Friday) to November 9 (Sunday), 2025, where I delivered a presentation titled "Learning to Save Lives: Drivers and Detractors in BLS Education."
This presentation examined the key factors that influence the success of Basic Life Support (BLS) education, identifying both drivers and barriers within healthcare training environments. Attending the conference virtually provided an excellent opportunity to engage with international educators and researchers, exchange ideas, and receive valuable feedback. These insights will inform future strategies aimed at improving patient safety and clinical competency.
The Advisory Board meeting for the MBA-IB program was successfully held on October 18, 2025.
We are deeply grateful to our esteemed Advisory Board members for their valuable feedback and insights, which continue to play a vital role in shaping the direction of our program.
The purpose of the Advisory Board is to provide strategic guidance, ensure curriculum relevance, and strengthen the connection between academia and industry. During this year's meeting, we shared the program's recent developments and achievements, and engaged in productive discussions to identify priorities for future enhancement.
Their thoughtful advice will help us further elevate the learning experience for our students and sustain the program's excellence.

Mr. Harima (second from the left)
Participating in the TSSP at Sasin School of Management in Bangkok was a truly eye-opening and enriching experience. I took two courses – Strategic Management for Emerging Asia and Pricing Strategies – which broadened my understanding of how business in Thailand and ASEAN region navigate post-pandemic volatility and emerging market challenges.
A particularly memorable experience was visiting both a Japanese SME with proprietary technology and a leading commercial bank, where we engaged in discussions with professionals about business expansion – opportunities rarely available outside an MBA setting.
Sasin’s learning environment was both academically rigorous and deeply collaborative. Faculty, entrepreneurs, and alumni shared practical insights, and my classmates – many of whom manage family businesses or lead start-ups – brought vibrant perspectives from the actual markets. I was also welcomed by the entire Sasin community, which made lasting impression on me.
Living in Bangkok for a month allowed me to experience Thai culture firsthand, from its daily life and cuisine to its strong ties with Japan. This program not only provided academic credit but also shaped my global mindset and cultural awareness.
I am sincerely grateful for this opportunity and would highly recommend the TSSP to future students looking to gain practical, cross-cultural insights in an emerging market context.
