Is Physics Laboratory Required?

Physics Laboratory is listed as a required course in the relevant 2025 and 2026 curriculum information, but its requirements and scheduling depend on the campus, faculty, programme, and curriculum track.

2026 course status across the listed programmes

For the 2026 curriculum information covering the listed programmes at Saitama Hatoyama Campus and Tokyo Senju Campus, Physics Laboratory is marked as a required course. It is generally listed as a first-year, 1-credit laboratory or practical course with two class periods. The curriculum tables show different scheduling formats: some list it across the four quarters, while others list it in either the first or second semester. In some tables, students taking the course for the first time must enroll in a first-semester class; another table specifies a second-semester class. The course is also scheduled in alternating weeks with Chemistry Laboratory in the semester-based listings.

Saitama Hatoyama Campus requirements

For the 2026 Faculty of Science and Technology curriculum at Saitama Hatoyama Campus, Physics Laboratory is a 1-credit required course with classes assigned to students. It is a first-year course with two class periods and is taught as a laboratory or practical course. In the Science and Technology fields other than Information System Design, Physics Laboratory and Chemistry Laboratory are both required and must be taken in the designated class. The required-course table assigns Physics Laboratory to the Science, Life Sciences, Mechanical Engineering, Electronic and Information Engineering, and Architecture and Urban Environment fields.

Physics course track

For the 2025 Physics curriculum model at Saitama Hatoyama Campus, students who select Physics as their main course must take and earn credit for Physics Laboratory, Physics Research Project I, Physics Research Project II, and Comprehensive Science Exercise.

System Design Engineering graduation requirements

For the 2026 Faculty of System Design Engineering curriculum, the Natural Science and Technology Subjects group totals 6 credits. Physics Laboratory and Chemistry Laboratory are listed as required courses in one supplied curriculum listing. Another supplied listing includes Basic Physics among the required courses as well. These listings therefore present different required-course combinations for the same 6-credit category.

Engineering Faculty requirements and curriculum models

For the 2026 Faculty of Engineering information, Physics Laboratory is listed as a 1-credit course marked as required for graduation. It is also identified as the applicable Physics Laboratory course in the specialised-subject table for the teaching-subject area covering physics, chemistry, biology, and earth science. For the Electrical and Electronic Engineering programme, Physics Laboratory and Chemistry Laboratory are included among the required courses in the 6-credit Natural Science and Technology Subjects category. For the Information and Communication Engineering programme, Physics Laboratory appears as a 1-credit course in the reference curriculum model.
