School Introduction

Shanghai Jiao Tong University emphasizes humanities education. As early as 1908, the university established the Chinese Language and Literature Department. President Tang Wenzhi personally taught the Chinese language class, and his original Tang tune for reciting poetry had become a valuable cultural heritage. Koo Hung-ming, Cai Yuanpei, Zhang Yuanji, Fu Lei, Li Shutong, Huang Yanpei, Shao Lizi and other humanities masters have taught or studied here. After many adjustments and reforms, the School of Humanities and Social Sciences was established in 1997, based on the newly established Department of Social Sciences and Engineering and Department of Literature and Arts in 1985.
