Early Graduation Eligibility Requirements

This page explains the academic, credit, GPA, approval, and graduate-school progression conditions for early graduation, with requirements distinguished by faculty and academic year.

Core conditions and graduation timing

Early graduation is intended for students who plan to proceed to graduate school. In the Faculty of Engineering, the system may allow exceptionally high-achieving students to graduate after three years if the stated conditions are met. For the Faculty of Future Science, students may graduate after three years or three and a half years by aiming to graduate at the end of the second semester of the third year or at the end of the first semester of the fourth year. The fourth-year-first-semester option does not apply to Architecture students. Progression to Tokyo Denki University's graduate school is a prerequisite for this Faculty of Future Science early-graduation route.

Faculty of Engineering requirements for 2025

For the Faculty of Engineering in academic year 2025, you must wish to graduate at the end of your third year and have three years of enrollment. By the end of the third year, you must have earned all credits for the required courses assigned by your department through the third year, meet the early-graduation requirements set by your department, and earn at least 124 credits required for graduation. A GPA of at least 3.4 is required.
