Eight majors in Jiangsu University of Science and Technology have been rated as national first-class undergraduate majors, all of which are the best majors in Jiangsu University of Science and Technology. The specific list of these eight majors is: ship and ocean engineering, welding technology and engineering, automation, information management and information system, mechanical design and manufacturing and automation, computer science and technology, industrial engineering and applied chemistry.

In 2022, the top major of Jiangsu University of Science and Technology was rated as B- in the fourth round of national discipline evaluation by the Ministry of Education, which is the best subject among all the listed disciplines of Jiangsu University of Science and Technology. Combining the fourth round of discipline evaluation with the national first-class undergraduate majors, it can be concluded that the majors of "welding technology and engineering" and "information management and information system" of Jiangsu University of Science and Technology can also be called the top majors of Jiangsu University of Science and Technology, which deserves students' priority to apply for Jiangsu University of Science and Technology.

In 2022, Jiangsu University of Science and Technology introduced the major of materials science and engineering.

Based on materials science, chemistry and physics, the major of materials science and engineering systematically studies the basic theories and experimental skills of materials science and engineering, and applies them to the research on the synthesis, preparation, structure, properties and application of materials. Materials science and engineering majors mostly enter iron and steel enterprises and related scientific research institutes, while polymers and nonmetals mostly enter industries such as ceramics, glass, coatings and household appliances, and most of them belong to large state-owned enterprises, military industries, private enterprises and scientific research institutions. Most of them are engineers and technicians from relevant enterprises and institutions.

Management Science and Engineering

Management science and engineering is a subject that comprehensively applies system science, management science, mathematics, economic and behavioral science and engineering methods, and combines information technology to study and solve management problems in society, economy and engineering. After graduation, students majoring in this major can engage in decision-making consultation and enterprise management in administrative departments at all levels of the country, large and medium-sized industrial and commercial enterprises at home and abroad, foreign-funded enterprises, multinational companies and foreign-funded enterprises. Institutions of higher learning or scientific research institutions engage in teaching and scientific research of related majors.
