  • Tongji University profile https://www.tongji.edu.cn/xxgk1/xxjj1.htm

    The official profile describes Tongji University as a university jointly supported by China's Ministry of Education and the Shanghai municipal government.

    The profile lists 33 professional colleges, 12 affiliated hospitals and 13 affiliated schools, and reports 18,920 full-time undergraduate students.

    The university reports 70 undergraduate admissions majors and disciplines in engineering, science, medicine, management, economics, philosophy, literature, law, education, art and interdisciplinary fields.

    Model elements: this source is used for identity, scale and baseline confirmation that undergraduate education is organised around approved undergraduate majors.

  • Undergraduate major settings https://jwc.tongji.edu.cn/zysz/list.htm

    The undergraduate academic affairs site publishes a major table with major code, major name, discipline, college, major category, subject category, duration and degree category.

    The table includes many four-year programmes, and five-year entries such as vehicle engineering, architecture, urban and rural planning, basic medicine, clinical medicine and stomatology.

    Some two-year entries appear in the table, but I did not use them for the normal bachelor duration because they look like special follow-on or conversion routes rather than the main first-degree model.

    Model elements: this sets the normal bachelor and first-professional duration range at 4 to 5 years and confirms that the baseline programme model is based on defined majors with fixed curriculum structures.

  • Undergraduate academic management documents https://jwc.tongji.edu.cn/glwj/list.htm

    The official management document page lists undergraduate progressive training implementation rules, undergraduate exchange student management and credit recognition implementation rules, and international double degree cooperation rules.

    The same page lists the Tongji University double bachelor degree compound talent training project management rules under discipline, major and degree management.

    Several linked rule texts redirect to the university single sign-on page, so I treat this page as evidence of official governance titles and combine it with open plan lists rather than relying on hidden text.

    Strict cross-registration review: this source does not prove ordinary selection of individual external courses that can be credited into the degree record. It remains mobility or transfer context, while courseChoice is lowered to 2 based on verified distribution groups, minor-like blocks, general education or structured elective requirements.

  • Undergraduate training plans https://jwc.tongji.edu.cn/pyfa/list.htm

    The undergraduate academic affairs site publishes annual undergraduate training plan sections, including 2025 undergraduate plans, 2025 progressive training major plans, 2024 progressive training major plans and 2023 progressive micro-minor plans.

    The page links the 2025 progressive training plans and the 2023 progressive micro-minor plans from the same official training plan area as regular undergraduate plans.

    Model elements: this supports programChoice 4 together with the double bachelor degree rule because the university has formal progressive and micro-minor plan structures beyond a single fixed major.

  • 2025 progressive training major plans https://jwc.tongji.edu.cn/2025njjspyzypyfa/list.htm

    The 2025 progressive training plan list includes schools such as economics and management, architecture and urban planning, mechanical engineering, environment, life sciences, materials, electronic information, foreign languages, medicine, stomatology, automobile, transportation, aerospace and humanities.

    The second page adds law, political science and international relations, design and innovation, surveying and mapping, physics, arts and media, chemistry, mathematics, computer science, Sino-German engineering, intellectual property and vocational education.

    Model elements: the broad spread across colleges supports the reading that progressive training is a real university-wide structure, not a single isolated programme.

  • 2023 progressive micro-minor training plans https://jwc.tongji.edu.cn/jjswwfxwpyfahz/list.htm

    The 2023 progressive micro-minor plan list covers many colleges, including economics and management, architecture and urban planning, civil engineering, mechanical engineering, environment, life sciences, electronic information, materials, foreign languages, medicine, software, automobile and marine and earth sciences.

    The next pages add transportation, aerospace, humanities, law, Marxism, political science and international relations, design, surveying and mapping, physics, arts and media, chemistry, mathematics, Sino-German engineering, the UNEP Tongji college, intellectual property and vocational education.

    Model elements: this is direct official evidence of a micro-minor layer. It is not enough by itself for programChoice 4, but it confirms meaningful programme choice beyond the home major.

  • Undergraduate overseas exchange study guide https://jwc.tongji.edu.cn/_upload/article/files/0a/2e/8e8db4f14422b36fbb5118be5117/186ad230-fe77-4883-bb18-3feef35607af.pdf

    The guide describes Tongji undergraduate international exchange types including international double degree, credit mutual recognition for course study, joint design or internship and short-term exchange.

    For semester or year exchange, students are told to consult their college about credit conversion before departure, create an overseas course plan, and map external courses to home programme courses.

    After returning, students apply online within six weeks for course recognition and upload the official transcript. The guide states that unauthorised self-arranged overseas study will not receive credit recognition.

    Strict cross-registration review: this source does not prove ordinary selection of individual external courses that can be credited into the degree record. It remains mobility or transfer context, while courseChoice is lowered to 2 based on verified distribution groups, minor-like blocks, general education or structured elective requirements.

  • Notice on undergraduate course selection for 2026-2027 semester 1 https://jwc.tongji.edu.cn/c5/fc/c30359a378364/page.htm

    The 2026 course selection notice tells students to select planned courses and general education electives through the teaching management system.

    It states that four-year majors require 8 general education elective credits and five-year majors require 10, with module limits for general education elective courses.

    It also says the fourth course selection round opens cross-disciplinary mutual elective courses to capable students, with application and approval by the student's home department and the course-offering department.

    Strict cross-registration review: this source does not prove ordinary selection of individual external courses that can be credited into the degree record. It remains mobility or transfer context, while courseChoice is lowered to 2 based on verified distribution groups, minor-like blocks, general education or structured elective requirements.

  • Tongji University statistics overview https://www.tongji.edu.cn/xxgk1/tjgl.htm

    The official statistics overview reports 18,920 full-time undergraduate students. The page note says that, unless otherwise stated, statistics are current as of May 2026. Specialist is set to 0 because the Chinese model does not use the Russian specialist degree level.
