Applying to TDU

For 2027 admissions, first confirm the official name of the admissions route available for your intended school, department, or division. Check the latest Admissions Selection Guidelines applicable to your intended admissions route, department, or division for the application eligibility requirements, required documents, and evaluation methods. Before deciding how to present your experience, it is important to check the specified documents and selection methods. According to the 2027 information, the Comprehensive Selection (AO) applies to the School of System Design and Technology, School of Science and Technology for Future Life, and School of Science and Engineering. The School of Engineering offers its own Comprehensive Selection (Tongari AO), with application eligibility based on the 20 Tongari Requirements. Both routes include a first-stage selection based on documents. In the second stage of the Comprehensive Selection (AO), individual interviews, including oral examinations, presentations, and other methods are used, with selection methods varying by department or division. The second stage of the Comprehensive Selection (Tongari AO) consists of a presentation and an individual interview, including an oral examination. For the Comprehensive Selection (AO), the selection methods or implementation procedures may change due to future social developments or other factors. Check the latest Admissions Selection Guidelines and official webpages applicable to your intended route, school, department, division, and selection stage both while preparing for 2027 admissions and when it is time to apply.

Materials that can demonstrate an interest in engineering can be broadly organized into three categories: outputs such as manufactured items or programs; improvements that apply knowledge to challenges in daily life or activities; and analysis or explanations from scientific and engineering perspectives. Examples include crafted items, code published on GitHub, and experience making improvements by applying knowledge of physics or chemistry. The following admissions information is for 2027. Before publication and when applying, check the current Admissions Selection Guidelines applicable to your intended selection route, school, department, and selection stage. In addition to a strong interest in engineering, the admissions policy of the School of Engineering at Tokyo Senju Campus calls for a proactive approach to learning and a desire to identify and solve problems. However, this policy alone does not establish that a particular activity will be evaluated in admissions. For the School of Engineering's Tongari AO, the Tongari Requirements for application eligibility explicitly include publishing program code on GitHub or similar platforms, having "a crafted or manufactured item that has delighted people," and having experience becoming so absorbed in making something that you forgot to eat and sleep, together with an output related to that experience. The Comprehensive Selection (AO) for the School of System Design and Technology, School of Science and Technology for Future Life, and School of Science and Engineering includes an activity report, but the existence of that report alone does not mean that a particular activity will be evaluated. Confirm your intended school and selection route, and check the latest Admissions Selection Guidelines for the application eligibility requirements, required documents, and selection methods. Selection methods and other details may change.

If your experience with making things or programming meets one of the Tongari Requirements for application eligibility for the School of Engineering's 2027 Comprehensive Selection (Tongari AO), and you report on that experience, describe not only the project itself but also the characteristics of the manufactured item or idea, the effects of implementing it, changes in yourself, and the reactions of people around you. The report for the same admissions year also asks about what sparked your interest and why, your personal commitment, your enthusiasm, and the connection to study in your intended department. These points are based on the report and sample entry for this selection route. Do not generalize them to other selection routes or treat the sample entry as a scoring criterion, a required model answer, or an indication of an advantage in gaining admission. This information applies only to the School of Engineering's 2027 Comprehensive Selection (Tongari AO). The first stage is based on application documents. The second stage, for applicants who pass the first stage, consists of a presentation and an individual interview that includes an oral examination. Because the selection methods and implementation procedures may change, reconfirm the information before publication using the current 2027 Admissions Selection Guidelines applicable to the School of Engineering, your intended department, and each selection stage. Also check the latest information when applying.

If the applicable official instructions allow you to write about club activities or similar experiences, consider organizing specific details beyond the activity name and achievements, such as what you initiated, how you worked with others, what you did to continue the activity, the role you performed, and how you changed as a result of the experience. These are suggestions for presenting your experience, not specified items or evaluation criteria. The sample report for the School of Engineering's 2027 Comprehensive Selection (Tongari AO) instructs applicants to describe a "thing or activity they became deeply absorbed in," including what they were like while engaged in it, the outcomes or results, changes in themselves, and the reactions of people around them. However, this example alone cannot be regarded as establishing scoring criteria, a required model answer, or a guarantee of additional points. According to the admissions policies referenced for 2027 admissions, the School of Science and Engineering at Saitama Hatoyama Campus seeks students who are willing to pursue their own learning proactively and work with diverse people to solve problems. The School of Engineering at Tokyo Senju Campus seeks students who are willing to learn proactively in cooperation with diverse people and to identify and solve problems themselves. However, these policies alone do not establish whether club activities may be described or submitted, or whether they will be considered during selection. Before this page is published and when applying, check the current 2027 Admissions Selection Guidelines and the official instructions for your intended route, school, department or division, and selection stage to confirm what must be submitted, including the designated forms.

For projects and inquiry-based activities, organize not only the results but also the process. Describing specifically what interested you, what problem you identified, what you did on your own initiative, how you worked with others, and how you expressed your ideas can make it easier to identify connections with the interest, initiative, collaboration, and desire to identify and solve problems that Tokyo Denki University sets out for 2027. However, the points emphasized are not uniform. The 2027 policies differ even among the divisions of the School of Science and Engineering. For example, the Division of Information System Design emphasizes logical organization and expression, the Division of Mechanical Engineering emphasizes the determination to persevere when facing difficulties, and the Division of Architecture and Urban Environment emphasizes an attitude of identifying and defining problems. In their school-level policies, the School of System Design and Technology sets out the design and realization of things and experiences, the School of Science and Technology for Future Life sets out problem identification and resolution and contributions to society, and the School of Engineering sets out the development of a safe and comfortable society. It is important to compare your experience not only with the policy of your intended school but also with the policy of the relevant department or division. This is a general framework for considering alignment with the 2027 admissions policies. Admissions policies alone do not determine the application requirements or evaluation methods for individual selection routes. Each school, department, and division also identifies foundational academic skills in subjects such as mathematics, science, and English as areas that applicants are expected to have studied before enrollment, and the subjects and scope vary. These are not in themselves route-specific application requirements. Check the pre-enrollment study expectations of your intended program separately from your activity experience. Before publication, reconfirm admissions-related information using the current 2027 Admissions Selection Guidelines and the instructions applicable to your intended selection route, school, department or division, and selection stage. Also check the latest information when applying.

First, organize your activity so that you can explain it clearly. Check four points: (1) whether its relationship to your intended field is clear, (2) whether your role and actions are specific, (3) whether there is information that can verify the details, and (4) whether you can explain what you thought or learned from the experience. This is a general organizational checklist, not a selection criterion published by Tokyo Denki University. Next, check the designated forms and submission method for your intended selection route. For the 2027 Comprehensive Selection (AO), applicants are instructed to submit the university's designated statement of reasons for applying and activity report on A4 paper. For the 2027 Comprehensive Selection (Tongari AO), additional materials related to the content of the report may be attached in A4 format. This does not mean that attachments are permitted for other routes. Required documents and completion instructions may differ by admissions year or selection route. Be sure to check the latest Admissions Selection Guidelines, designated forms, and instructions before preparing and submitting your application.
