Abstract: At present, there are some problems in cultivating the innovation ability of graduate students. For example, per capita scientific research resources are limited, professional teaching cannot resonate with ideological and political education at the same frequency, and scientific research education mechanism is not perfect. Nanchang Hangkong University takes the postgraduates in the field of environment as object, the construction of discipline platform as the driving force, and the high-quality vertical and horizontal projects as the carriers, strengthens the construction of teaching staff, runs through the ideological and political education in the whole process of postgraduate training, and plays a collaborative role of ‘academic exchange, funding, reward, innovation and competition’. The novel mode of discipline construction driving graduate students’ innovation ability has been fabricated and implemented, which promotes the innovation ability of graduate students and the improvement of tutors’ professional level.
