That is, it examines current higher education and aims to adapt to the development of higher education positively.One of the contributions of modern feminism is its critique and reconsidering on traditional education. Feminists examine and analyze the male-centered ideas in education from their own thinking. And they put forward opinions and suggestions to change traditional educational system.The thesis makes use of literature and qualitative research methods. The subjects are female graduates in Huazhong University of Science and Technology. The research aims at hidden curriculum in higher institutions. In view of feminism the thesis reexamines the essence of higher education and scrutinizes hidden curriculum shown in physical environment, teaching in class, thesis instruction and job hunting, such as the attitudes of faculties to female and male students.
