About Tongji University
Tongji traces its history to 1907, when the German doctor Erich Paulun founded a German medical school in Shanghai; an engineering school was added in 1912. It became a university in 1923 and National Tongji University in 1927. After the national restructuring of 1952 it focused on civil engineering and architecture, and since 1978 it has grown into a comprehensive university while keeping close ties with Germany.
