Improvement of the sense of gain as an internal driving force is the key factor to improve the training quality of graduate students in food science. Utilizing Jiangsu University graduate students majoring in food science as research samples, this study analyzed the present situation of the “sense of gain” demand. We analyzed the reasonable appeals of graduate students during their study based on fully respecting and advocating students’ right of speech, listened to their opinions and suggestions on higher education, analyzed the main contradictions, and further put forward a series of countermeasures. For improving the graduate students’ sense of gain during the period of study, it is necessary to improve the training quality from the following five aspects: constructing high-quality courses, cultivating people’s responsibilities, implementing “soft elimination” of training links, carrying out diversified extracurricular activities, and developing comprehensive quality. This research is significant in improving the training quality of food science graduate students.

Aims: Doctoral candidates are at the highest level of higher education, and their training quality is essential. Therefore, the present work is to explore the novel training modes about the doctoral candidates. Methods: Taking Jiangsu University as an example to analyze and explore. Results: the author makes a systematic and comprehensive analysis of doctoral training mode, reform measures from the systems of the funding training, educating and learning, the international joint education, doctoral tutor assessment, training process diversion. Furthermore, the author explores the reform ideas and measures to deepen the training mode of doctoral candidates. Conclusion: all the innovative measures will have a great practical significance to improve the quality of doctoral students.

Graduate students are an important engine of national and regional development and the dominant force of contemporary scientific and technological innovation. It has become the historical mission of high-level research universities to provide strong talent support for the construction of innovative powerful countries with human resources. This investigation performed a systematic and comparative analysis of international postgraduate training models. The whole process of multidimensional training countermeasures and suggestions were proposed. Those specifically included updating the training concept, optimizing the curriculum structure, innovating teaching methods, strengthening practical training, strengthening the responsibility of the tutor, and expanding the international vision. After investigation and analysis, this research pointed out that the conditions of establishing and perfecting the examination system, evaluation mechanism, and incentive measures related to postgraduate education were guaranteed. Multiple measures to improve the quality of graduate students have certain reference significance for the current graduate education.
