Besides,the division of responsibilities of postgraduate management is not specified and clear enough. The university curriculum system is imperfect. The intellectual property mechanisms has not been amplified. The outer environment lacks the policies that facilitate this education mode and regulatory authorities.In order to solve the above problems and further promote and perfect the cultivating postgraduate by combination of university and indusrty, this study put forward suggestions respectively for the Industry-university union base, university, industry and government.
