The school integrates the interdisciplinary concept into the entire process of talent cultivation, and vigorously strengthens the construction of the two discipline clusters of "Information Network Science and Technology" and "Computer Science and Network Security". Three first-level disciplines of the university, namely Information and Communication Engineering, Computer Science and Technology, and Electronic Science and Technology, were rated as A-class disciplines in the Ministry of Education's discipline evaluation, with Information and Communication Engineering being rated as an A+ discipline. With a focus on the "Double First-Class" initiative, the university has continuously strengthened its discipline construction and further optimized its discipline layout. At present, the university has 11 first-level disciplines authorized to confer doctoral degrees, 24 first-level disciplines authorized to confer master's degrees (including 11 first-level discipline doctoral programs), 1 professional doctoral degree program, 12 types of professional master's degree authorization points, 53 undergraduate programs, and 7 postdoctoral research stations. The disciplines cover eight categories including science, engineering, literature, law, economics, management, education and art, and have initially formed a multi-disciplinary framework with prominent information discipline advantages and mutual support among engineering, management, liberal arts and science.
The school has established deep cooperation and exchange relations with more than 200 well-known universities, research institutions and enterprises abroad, and has established in-depth cooperation with industry-specific international organizations such as the International Telecommunication Union, and has vigorously expanded substantive cooperation with world-class universities and academic institutions.
