The purpose is to adapt to the increasing demand of society for postgraduate education, try to implement a diversified training mode in postgraduate training, that is, pay equal attention to the training of academic talents and practical talents, and make master's degree a transitional education with reference to foreign successful practices.

With the continuous expansion of the enrollment scale of graduate students in colleges and universities across the country, the employment situation of graduate students is becoming increasingly severe and the employment competition is becoming increasingly fierce. Facing the pressure, the law school takes improving the quality of postgraduate training as the main strategy, pays attention to cultivating students' comprehensive ability, strengthens employment guidance and broadens employment channels, so that the graduate students in our college maintain a high employment rate. In 2004, the graduate employment rate was 97.3%. A few students whose work units have not been implemented after graduation have also found suitable work units and sent them out as fresh graduates according to the school policy. Postgraduate scholarships are divided into general scholarships, outstanding postgraduate scholarships and special scholarships. Ordinary scholarships are usually called living allowances, and bonuses are distributed to all non-directional and self-funded graduate students in the school, that is, master's and doctoral students with unified recruitment and classification; The bonus standard is 300 yuan per month for master students and 400 yuan per month for doctoral students.

Outstanding graduate students are selected from among outstanding graduate students, and the quota is1%of the total number of qualified outstanding graduate students; Under normal circumstances, the excellent graduate model is the first-class scholarship winner, who only enjoys the honorary title and certificate, and no longer increases the prize amount.

The special scholarships for law school graduate students are mainly Blue Moon Scholarship, Baosteel Scholarship, Chinese Academy of Sciences Scholarship, Samsung Scholarship, which are all competitive in the whole school, and the Han Depei Law Prize (established in the name of Han Depei, a famous jurist and educator of Wuhan University, which awards 6 graduate students every year.

The special scholarship is also awarded on June 5- 10 every year, which is conducted at the same time as the selection of outstanding graduate students.

In order to alleviate the economic pressure of graduate students during their study and help them complete their studies smoothly, the relevant state departments, schools and banks have cooperated with each other to provide some graduate students with national student loans. The object of national student loans is self-funded graduate students. Each loan applicant can get a national student loan of 6,000 yuan per year, which is interest-free during school and begins to bear interest after graduation. Since 2003, China Industrial and Commercial Bank and China Bank have provided student loans to graduate students in our college, which have been warmly welcomed by the majority of graduate students.
