General information

The School of Management was established in July 2000. Its predecessor, the Department of Management Engineering, was founded in 1979 as one of the earliest academic units at the inception of Tianjin University of Technology. It also stands as one of the pioneering institutions in China to offer undergraduate programs in Management. In 2019, the university's former International College of Business & Technology was fully integrated into the School of Management, significantly enhancing its scale and distinctive strengths.

The School offers 11 undergraduate majors: Cost Engineering Management, Business Administration, Project Management, Industrial Engineering, Big Data Management and Application, Insurance (admission suspended in 2024, replaced by Financial Technology), Financial Management (to be replaced by Accounting in 2025), Logistics Management (admission suspended in 2024), Marketing (admission suspended in 2024), Business Administration (joint degree program), and Industrial Engineering (joint degree program). Among them, Cost Engineering Management, Business Administration, Project Management, and Marketing are recognized as National First-Class Undergraduate Programs. Industrial Engineering and Logistics Management are designated as Tianjin Municipal First-Class Undergraduate Programs.
