In the 2025 Electronic Information and Biomedical Engineering curriculum track and the 2026 Mechanical Engineering curriculum track, the requirements also include the conditions shown in the relevant progression table.
For the 2025 Electronic Information and Biomedical Engineering track, the 104 credits must include at least 12 credits in Human Formation subjects, 6 in English, 2 in Engineering Ethics, 4 in Mathematics, 6 in Natural Science and Technology, 2 in Information, 23 in common academic-field subjects, 18 in E1 Electronic Information course subjects, and 5 in E2 sub-course subjects. For the 2026 Electronic Information Engineering track, the 104 credits must include at least 12 credits in Human Science subjects, 6 in English, 4 in Mathematics, 2 in Information, 6 in Natural Science and Technology, and 23 in common academic-field subjects.
The 2025 Information Systems Design, Life Science, and Science curriculum tracks also require at least 104 credits from courses assigned to Years 1–3, together with the additional conditions listed for each track. The 2026 Information Systems Design track has the same 104-credit minimum and requires all listed category-specific conditions. The 2026 Electronic Information Engineering track requires at least 104 credits from courses assigned to Years 1–3.
Tokyo Senju Campus: Engineering and Systems Design Engineering
In the 2026 Faculty of Engineering, students must have earned at least 104 credits by the end of the third year, excluding free courses. In the 2025 Faculty of Engineering, the same minimum of 104 credits applies for progression to the fourth year, also excluding free courses.
For the 2025 Faculty of Systems Design Engineering, progression requires at least 40 credits in faculty common-education subjects, including Human Science subjects, for AJ, or at least 34 such credits for AD.
