This page explains the credit-substitution limits for university-designated subjects and shows the listed credit figures by faculty and academic year.
Credit substitution within the 30-credit requirement
For the 2026 academic year at the Tokyo Senju Campus, Engineering Faculty students may replace up to 5 of the 30 credits required in specialized subject areas with credits earned from university-designated subjects. The required number of specialized subject-area credits is reduced by the number of university-designated subject credits used for the replacement.
For the 2025 academic year at the Tokyo Senju Campus, Second Division of the Engineering Faculty students may replace up to 2 of the 30 required specialized subject-area credits with credits from university-designated subjects. In this case, the specialized subject-area requirement is reduced by the number of university-designated subject credits used.
