Finally, from the perspective of graduate’s development, the problems are as follows, unevenness of graduate’s moral qualities, low-level of scientific research enthusiasm and weakness of independent scientific research abilities.Deeply focusing on these obvious problems of the quality of graduate education in Zhejiang Province, the thesis figures out a series of facts in blame as follows, deviation of educational cognition, scarcity of scientific research resources, lack of advisor’s access mechanism, imbalance of assessment mechanism orientation and oneness of evaluation system.Based on the thoroughly reflection, the thesis points out that, only by taking countermeasures such as dynamically optimizing the implementation of graduate curriculum, creating a synergy mechanism of advisors, perfecting advisor’s and graduate’s assessment indicator system and structuring an evaluation system full of plurality, can we effectively improve the quality of university graduate education in Zhejiang Province.
