International Master’s Scholarships in Japan: Japan - WCO Scholarships 2009
The major objective of the Public Finance Program is to provide students with the conceptual understanding and technical competence to become leaders in taxation and customs. The curriculum is designed for government officials from developing countries worldwide who are currently working in tax or customs administration or equivalent departments. In accordance with their background, students in this Program specialize in either tax or customs policy and administration. The Program provides rigorous academic training aimed at developing an understanding of the theoretical, empirical, and institutional aspects of tax and customs administration. Administrative aspects and reforms in the field of taxation and customs are studied and linked to developing countries’ economic and social development.

A practicum at the National Tax Administration (NTA) or the Customs Training Institute (CTI) provides an opportunity for students to enhance their learning with hands-on experience in a tax/customs-related work environment and to integrate this experience with their formal education.
