Recommended Subjects and Study Areas by Programme
This guide summarizes recommended specialist, foundation, mathematics, science, language, and elective subjects for specific faculties, departments, academic years, and curriculum tracks.
Planning Your Subjects in the Science and Technology Faculty
For the Science and Technology Faculty at Saitama Hatoyama Campus, recommended lecture subjects differ by academic system and course. Follow the guidance for your own academic system or course when planning your studies. This applies to the 2025 and 2026 academic years.
Mechanical Engineering: Build Broad Foundations and Specialist Knowledge
For Mechanical Engineering students in the Faculty of Engineering at Tokyo Senju Campus in the 2026 academic year, taking as many specialist subjects as possible across a broad range is strongly recommended. Completing only the required subjects is not sufficient to establish the breadth of knowledge expected of a bachelor's graduate in mechanical engineering, so careful study planning is advised. Mathematics and physics are also fundamental to mechanical engineering, and students are encouraged to complete as many subjects in these areas as possible.
Electronic Systems Engineering: Strengthen Foundation and English Studies
For Electronic Systems Engineering students in the Faculty of Engineering at Tokyo Senju Campus, engineering foundation subjects and foundational common subjects form the basis of the department's subjects. Students are advised to take as many of these subjects as possible in both the 2025 and 2026 academic years. In the 2025 academic year, English-related subjects are also recommended for employment and future international activities.
Robotics and Mechatronics: Choose Related Electives and Maintain Balance
For Robotics and Mechatronics students in the Faculty of Future Science at Tokyo Senju Campus in the 2025 academic year, taking elective specialist mathematics and specialist foundation subjects is strongly recommended because they are closely connected with the department's specialist fields. Plan your studies around your individual future goals and choose subjects without a major imbalance among fields, regardless of your year of study.
Electronic Information and Biomedical Engineering Track
For the Electronic Information and Biomedical Engineering curriculum track in the Science and Technology Faculty at Saitama Hatoyama Campus in the 2025 academic year, take foundation subjects in English, mathematics, natural science and technology, and information as far as possible and earn the credits. For specialist subjects, the recommended focus is the electrical and electronic engineering field, together with areas such as mathematics and information technology, electronic information and communications, electronic systems, electronic devices, biomedical engineering, and electronic control.
Electronic Information Engineering Track
For the Electronic Information Engineering curriculum track in the Science and Technology Faculty at Saitama Hatoyama Campus in the 2026 academic year, specialist subjects are recommended mainly from electronic information engineering and biomedical engineering, together with mathematics and information technology, electronic information and communications, electronic systems, electronic devices, and electronic control.
Applied Chemistry: Identify Recommended Electives
For Applied Chemistry students in the Faculty of Engineering at Tokyo Senju Campus in the 2025 academic year, a circle mark in the subject table indicates an elective subject that is recommended for study.
Science Track Chemistry Choices
For the Science curriculum track in the Science and Technology Faculty at Saitama Hatoyama Campus in the 2026 academic year, students in the chemistry course choose subjects that interest them. In the second year, the choices include interfacial chemistry, chemical kinetics, and physical chemistry I. In the third year, the choices include quantum chemistry, inorganic chemistry II, and organic and polymer chemistry.
