A local application-oriented university's data of postgraduate enrollment in 2019 are studied, and the enrollment rate, the enrollment category, the level, quality and location of the postgraduate university are all analyzed. We conclude that the university's programs with higher postgraduate enrollment rates are mostly developed from traditional advantageous disciplines. The number of enrolled academic-oriented master students is slightly larger than that of enrolled profession-oriented master students. 67.6% of the total master students are enrolled not by double-first-class universities, and 28.1% go to universities with world-class disciplinary development programs. 75.0% of the total master students go to study at postgraduate universities located in the first and second-tier cities. Finally, we propose some strategies to improve the postgraduate enrollment rate from aspects of ideology guidance, confidence in profession, scientific choice, persistent study and scientific research.
