Abstract

Graduate student satisfaction is an important dimension and indicator to reflect, monitor and evaluate the quality of graduate education. With the popularisation and development of higher education, how to improve postgraduate students' satisfaction and promote their all-round development is one of the urgent problems of current postgraduate education. This study constructed a questionnaire on the evaluation of postgraduate students' satisfaction and influencing factors, and carried out a survey among 5886 postgraduate students in more than 20 colleges of Dalian University of Technology, to explore the problems and deficiencies in the current mode of postgraduate students' management through a systematic study of postgraduate students' satisfaction with the management of postgraduate education. The study found that most of the postgraduates have high satisfaction, but there is still much room for improvement; among them, the satisfaction of ideological education, the satisfaction of employment guidance, the satisfaction of teaching quality, the satisfaction of management system and service system, social practice, campus culture and other aspects have a positive impact on the satisfaction of postgraduates' education, and the study puts forward the targeted strategy of improving postgraduates' satisfaction from the above dimensions to enrich the management theoretical system, and improve the management level of colleges and universities.
