Information Management and Information System

Since its establishment in 1984, the Information Management and Information Systems major has always been at the forefront of information technology and management science. It was one of the earliest universities in China to establish this major. As one of the first disciplines selected for the national-level first-class undergraduate program construction site, this major leverages the strong interdisciplinary advantages of Tongji University, integrating knowledge from management science, information science, systems science, computer science, and other fields. It is committed to cultivating versatile senior management talents who are proficient in big data analysis, skilled in business strategy, capable of developing intelligent systems, and adept at auditing digital assets.

Relying on the A+ grade advantage of Tongji University’s Management Science and Engineering discipline and deeply participating in major national scientific research projects, the research results are widely applied in cutting-edge fields such as smart cities, fintech, and big data analysis. With the “socio-technical systems” perspective as its core, this major deeply integrates theory and practice through diverse teaching methods such as case teaching and analysis of industry hotspots. Students not only master hard skills such as information system development and data analysis but also cultivate systematic thinking for solving complex management problems. Graduates can hold high-level positions such as IT strategy planners and data analysts in industrial and commercial enterprises, financial institutions, government agencies, scientific research institutions, and other fields. Students aspiring to pursue academic research and continue studying for master’s or doctoral degrees can also lay a solid disciplinary foundation through this major.
