ABSTRACT

Postgraduate education, specifically Master’s student education, is a critical component of the higher education system in China. As China strives to become a leading expert in human resources, its postgraduate education has achieved notable success. However, with the recent expansion of enrollees in Master’s programs, there is an urgent need to improve the quality of training. This paper analyzes the current trends in postgraduate education in China, which has become increasingly popular due to societal changes and demand for higher education. It also identifies the challenges faced by training units, including incomplete training mechanisms and mismatches in goals between teachers and students. Thus, it finally provides targeted methods to optimize the curriculum and enhance trainees’ employment prospects to improve the quality of postgraduate education. These solutions aim to promote the in-depth development of postgraduate education, transform towards a model that prioritizes quality in addition to quantity, comprehensively improve the quality of self-taught talent, and nurture more innovative individuals to drive social development.
