Originally as Imperial Tientsin University and later Peiyang University, this university was founded in 1895 and is the first modern university and the oldest university in China, leading the country's significant shift towards modernization and development. The university was founded with the goal of providing modern education in engineering and mining, and it later expanded to include programs in science, business, law, humanities, and other fields. The establishment of Tianjin University marked a turning point in Chinese history, as it represented a significant shift towards modernization and the adoption of Western educational models. It is renowned both domestically and internationally for its motto of 'seeking truth from facts,' the rigorous academic atmosphere, and the tradition of patriotism and dedication. In 1951, it was renamed Tianjin University through a national department adjustment.
