Outline of courses

Undergraduate courses are arranged in terms of four years. Students pass automatically from year to year, irrespective of whether they have obtained the recommended credits or not. Those who fail at graduation "belong" to the fourth year.

Students in the undergraduate course are required to obtain a total of 124 credits, 30 from General Education, 80 from obligatory physics courses, and 14 from elective physics courses. The maximum number of credits is restricted as shown in the following table.

As a general standard, the department proposes the following (non-binding) arrangement of courses. General Educational courses are supposed to be taken during the first and the second years.



First year (max 56)
Second year (max 60)
