Value
This MBA is made up of multiplication.
University of Wolverhampton × Chestnut Education Group × Shibuya Web3 University.
The chemical reaction that results from the multiplication of three elements — that is the value of this learning experience.
University of Wolverhampton – Degrees and System
British universities, which began in 1827 and have continued to evolve for nearly 200 years, offer formal degrees, a master's level management curriculum, and a 15,000-word thesis on a self-selected topic. These universities, which have consistently opened the doors of learning to those who dare to challenge themselves, are the first element in this equation.
Chestnut Education Group — the removal of barriers.
"Making quality higher education accessible to everyone, by removing the geographical, economic and cultural barriers in its way" — the London-based education group that holds this vision closes the distance between you and the British system, through practical work. A path you can walk while working, from Japan, with no timetable. Recognition of Prior Learning, assessed and granted on professional experience. A dedicated tutor for every learner. The second factor in this multiplication is the path itself.
Shibuya Web3 University — the front line, and support alongside you.
The third factor is what makes this multiplication a reaction found nowhere else.
Shibuya Web3 University is a home of practitioners who have spent years at Tokyo's front line, putting blockchain, generative AI and Web3 to work in the real world. Here, we hold events, practitioners gather, and the latest technology is in motion every day — not something talked about, but something you can touch.
For students on this programme, that door is open. The learning itself is designed to be self-paced and solitary; there is no classroom. And yet, in the very month you are working through an assignment in English, you can be in Tokyo, in touch with the feel of the front line and the people on it — living both within a single period of study.
We have also designed and run programmes of learning at master's and doctoral level, delivered in Japanese: a methodology for supporting world-standard academic work in Japanese, and a community of people who gather around that learning. On that foundation are built this programme's Japanese academic-literacy support and its guidance in how to learn in the age of generative AI — both provided outside the curriculum (AI as a co-pilot for your thinking, never to write your assignments or your dissertation).

Not addition — multiplication.
Taken one by one, each might be found somewhere else. But when the three work at the same time, within the same fifteen months, a reaction begins.
You check the workings of the management theory learned through the assignments of your British degree course against the lived reality of Tokyo's front line. A single remark from a practitioner you meet at an event sharpens the question of your dissertation. World-standard referencing discipline becomes a habit of management — never speaking about the cutting edge on assumption alone. Remove any one of the three, and the reaction does not happen.
A British degree course × Tokyo's front line × a design for completion.
This reaction is the value we have built into this MBA.
