Qingdao University of Science and Technology has strong specialties such as applied chemistry, chemical engineering and technology, polymer materials and engineering, mechanical engineering and automation.

According to a teacher of the school, its metal material engineering is not the dominant major of the school, but the research on metal materials is not pure casting and welding, and the postgraduate entrance examination is more promising. It is ok for boys to apply for the exam, but it may be difficult for girls to find a job.
