Abstract: Student satisfaction is the inherent requirement of higher education quality. Drawing on the ideas and conclusions of previous studies，we carried out an education satisfaction survey and collected data on relevant influencing factors in succession of years (2013-2018). Through the analysis of these data of student satisfaction with the postgraduate education， we found that postgraduate education satisfaction mainly involves three aspects: education support，professional education and supervisor guidance. A comparison of mean value reveals that doctor candidates show a higher satisfaction than master students. Further regression analysis reveals that urban family background and personal motivation have a positive impact on the satisfaction of master and doctor students with all aspects； the overall satisfaction of master students in science and engineering is relatively low， while the professional education and tutor guidance satisfaction of medical students is relatively high. In order to improve student satisfaction with postgraduate education， we suggest carrying out differentiated education support for postgraduate students with different family and personal backgrounds.
