Recommended Credit Targets by Year

This page explains recommended cumulative credit totals and annual study targets for selected study models in the Faculty of Science and Technology.

Mechanical Engineering Study Model

For the 2026 Mechanical Engineering study model, students are advised to take courses in a balanced way and aim to earn at least 80 credits by the end of the second year. About 120 credits by the end of the third year is desirable in preparation for fourth-year research activities and job hunting.

Electronic Information and Biomedical Engineering Study Models

For the 2025 Electronic Information and Biomedical Engineering study model and the 2026 Electronic Information Engineering study model, students are advised to aim for at least 120 credits by the end of the third year so that they can concentrate on their graduation research in the fourth year. Earning about 40 credits per year is also recommended as a general annual target.

2026 Electronic Information Engineering: Minimum and Recommended Targets

For the 2026 Electronic Information Engineering study model, 104 credits is the minimum line for progression to the fourth year. This minimum should be distinguished from the target of at least 120 credits, which is presented as the level needed to make full use of the fourth year for research and job-hunting activities. Students are also advised to take courses in a balanced way and aim for at least 80 credits by the end of the second year.
