Industrial design is listed as the tenth five-year key discipline in Tianjin.
Based on Tianjin, facing the whole country, aiming at the advanced design level in the world, making full use of the resource advantages of comprehensive universities, taking the combination of arts and sciences as the school-running concept and teaching as the center, the college has formed a solid and professional teaching system, combining art with culture, art with science and technology, combining academics with practice, paying attention to the cultivation of image thinking and innovative consciousness, and gradually formed its own school-running characteristics. In professional teaching, we should pay attention to basic teaching and theoretical teaching, cultivate students' comprehensive quality, and emphasize students' personal imagination and creativity and their display in design practice.
The College has also set up an Art Design Research Center, which serves as a window for the development of the College and has various professional studios to strengthen academic research, exchanges and cooperation, improve the level of running schools, strengthen horizontal cooperation, and establish various forms of Industry-University-Research cooperation bases and practice teaching bases to promote development through cooperation. Professor Lyman of Stuttgart Art Institute, Professor Liu Guanzhong of Tsinghua University Academy of Fine Arts, Professor Peng, President of Tianjin Aesthetics Association and many other well-known professors at home and abroad were invited as visiting professors. Through many academic exchange activities, we will build an innovative platform and improve our academic level.
