Tianjin University is a national key university directly under the Ministry of Education. Its predecessor was Beiyang University. The school is located in Qilitai, Nankai District, Tianjin University Park. The campus covers an area of 1.4657 million square meters, with a total construction area of1.20 million square meters.
Beiyang University, the predecessor of Tianjin University, was founded after the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. Sheng Xuanhuai, the governor of Zhili at that time, told Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty that a new school would be established. In the 21st year of Guangxu (1895 10.02), on August 14th, Emperor Guangxu approved the establishment of Tianjin Beiyang Western School, with Sheng Xuanhuai as the first inspector. The school is located in the former site of Dayingmen Bowen College on the north bank of Tianjin. Since then, the first modern university in China was born.
In the 22nd year of Guangxu (1896), Beiyang Western School was officially renamed Beiyang University Hall. In the 26th year of Guangxu (1900), Eight-Nation Alliance invaded Tianjin, the school building was occupied by enemy soldiers, the equipment and documents were destroyed, and the school was forced to close. The school is not allowed to resume classes in the future. In the 29th year of Guangxu (1903), classes were officially resumed in Xigu.
19 12, 1, Beiyang University was renamed as Beiyang University, directly under the Ministry of Education, and 19 13 was renamed as National Beiyang University. Since then, the name of the school has been used until 1928 was renamed as the Second Institute of Technology of National Peking University.
Tianjin Beiyang Western Learning was a veritable university when it was founded, and it rose as a high-level new university. Since its establishment, it has been aided to run schools according to the American model, and introduced the western education model from the aspects of curriculum, teaching content, teaching materials and teaching methods. The school has a first-level school (undergraduate) and a second-level school (preparatory), both of which have a four-year academic system. Eight years later, it trained professionals. At the same time, sending first-class school graduates to study abroad is also an important part of the school's founding plan.
First-class schools set up four professional courses (namely departments) in engineering, mining, mechanism and laws and regulations. In the 23rd year of Guangxu (1897), the school established the Railway School, and in the 24th year of Guangxu (1898), these courses were urgently needed by China society at that time, which reflected the purpose of Beiyang University to "save the country by developing knowledge".
