Admiddion Policy

Despite the increasing sophistication of electronic and computer technology, Japan faces many issues arising from an aging population. There is mounting expectations, however, for engineering technology (human-assistive technology and biocybernetics) founded on different principles from the past to overcome these problems. The goal of the Department of Biocybernetics is to develop future engineers who will become leaders in electronics, computers, system devices, and control systems with knowledge and orientation toward assistive technology, life-support technology, and biomedical engineering. More specifically, we provide a curriculum that draws from many fields including electrical and electronic engineering and computer science as well as assistive technology, bionics, ergonomics, and mechanical engineering. As a result, our admission policy favors student candidates possessing solid academic ability across all core biocybernetics subjects - including mathematics, sciences, and foreign languages, flexibility in conceptual thinking, and a strong interest and drive to create user-friendly and environmentally friendly engineering technology, combined with the ability to think logically.

Admission policies for each selection test

General admissions (first-term programs)

We give preference to candidate students possessing sufficient fundamental academic ability in mathematics, sciences, and foreign languages. With regard to sciences, candidate students are expected to have completed a specialized course in physics.

General admissions (second-term programs)

We give preference to candidate students possessing fundamental academic ability in mathematics, sciences (particularly physics), and foreign languages and demonstrating high academic motivation and strong interest in biocybernetics.

Admissions for industrial high school/integrated course graduates

We give preference to candidate students possessing fundamental knowledge about mathematics, sciences, foreign languages, and technical arts and demonstrating strong interest in the biocybernetics field.

Admissions on recommendation

Graduates from technical arts courses and integrated courses

We give preference to candidate students possessing fundamental knowledge about their technical specialty studied in high school and the fundamental academic ability required for studies at the university level as well as demonstrating high academic motivation, a definite purpose, and interest in biocybernetics.

Other high school graduates (from ordinary course high schools, etc.)

We give preference to candidate students possessing the fundamental academic ability required for studies at the university level and demonstrating high academic motivation, a definite purpose, and interest in biocybernetics.

Special admissions for Japanese students raised abroad and children of repatriates (hikiagesha)

We give preference to candidate students possessing international skills, the fundamental academic ability required for university studies, and latent ability in any of the Department's fields of study.

Admission policy for third-year transfer students

We give preference to candidate students possessing fundamental knowledge in fields of study related to electrical/electronic, computer, and mechanical engineering and demonstrating a strong interest in the Department's fields of study along with fundamental academic ability (mathematics, physics, foreign languages). Priority is given to candidates with strong motivation to enhance their specialization based on their prior expertise and experience.
