Announcing School of Design
2022 International Graduate Programs
About School of Design
Design education in the Built Environment at Shanghai Jiao Tong University can be traced back to the early 20th century. In December 2017, the University grouped design related disciplines scattered in different schools, and amalgamated three departments, Architecture, Design and Landscape Architecture, to establish the new School of Design. The new discipline cluster, incorporating the above three disciplines and named “Innovative Design”, has been identified by the university as one of the key 17 “double first class” discipline clusters which receive significant future support and investment from the university.
In order to reform and explore a talent training model that is more in line with the characteristics of the discipline, since 2018, School of Design has taken a series of innovative measures, including setting up practical pioneer courses, offering teaching fellow positions, and hiring external lecturers to participate in teaching, etc. There’s no exaggeration that the results are quite fruitful. Shanghai Jiao Tong university ranking 47th in QS World University in "Architecture/Built Environment" subject in 2020. The “Art and Design” subject has been ascended the world’s top 100 in recent years as well.
