Tongji University
Tongji University’s School of Economic Management
For a century, Tongji University has shared an inseparable destiny with the Chinese nation,
advanced hand-in-hand alongside China’s science and education endeavors,
and evolved side-by-side with Shanghai’s urban transformation.
—From Comrade Xi Jinping’s Address at Tongji University’s Centennial Celebration
With one heart, with one dream and with the same future. For the people, for the whole world and for the same planet.
Tongji University, with a long-standing reputation, is one of China’s earliest national universities and a national key institution directly under the Ministry of Education (MOE) and jointly established with Shanghai Municipality. After 118 years of development, Tongji has evolved into a comprehensive, research-intensive, and globally influential university with distinctive strengths. It ranks among China’s top-tier higher education institutions in overall excellence.
Tongji University upholds the cultivation of top-tier innovative talents as its core mission. Anchored in undergraduate education as the foundation and graduate education as the pathway to excellence, the University commits to fostering virtue through education by implementing comprehensive, whole-process, and holistic development. Through transformative academic engagement, every student cultivates integrated competencies: interdisciplinary expertise, academic excellence, innovative thinking, practical skills, global perspective, and social responsibility — emerging as visionary professionals and societal leaders who champion China's rejuvenation and shape the future.
Tongji University School of Economics and Management (SEM), among China’s earliest institutions in economics and management education (est. 1956), holds the world’s most prestigious accreditations: AACSB International and EFMD Quality Improvement System (EQUIS), alongside China’s premier credentials — CAMEA (Chinese Advanced Management Education Accreditation) and PMI Global Accreditation Center (PMI-GAC).
SEM is now injecting new momentum into its traditional disciplines through digital-intelligent, green, and integrated development. It is also comprehensively advancing “AI+” in talent cultivation, discipline construction, scientific research, and platform building. SEM focuses on interdisciplinary integration, deepening international cooperation, and creating new quality productive forces in economics and management disciplines. By aligning itself with the country’s major strategic and social needs, SEM strives to be a leader in the management of national major and complex projects, an explorer of high-quality economic development, a promoter of enterprise innovation and transformation, and a practitioner of social governance modernization.
