This paper explores the role of the "competition-innovation project-graduation thesis" integrated training model in undergraduate talent cultivation, as well as the methods and significance of constructing this training model. Currently, higher education generally lacks practicality, hindering students' development of practical skills and comprehensive qualities. Innovative teaching methods are needed to enhance students' practical abilities and overall competencies. Competitions, innovation projects, and graduation theses, as three important components, can promote comprehensive improvement in students' academic research, innovative practice, and overall abilities. This paper proposes methods such as establishing the concept of integrated talent cultivation, improving organizational management mechanisms, and strengthening process assessment and outcome evaluation to construct the "competition-innovation project-graduation thesis" integrated training model. The implementation of this model will not only improve the quality of talent cultivation but also drive educational reform and enhance the core competitiveness of talent development. By adopting this integrated training model, universities can better prepare students for real-world challenges and equip them with the necessary skills and knowledge to excel in their chosen fields. Additionally, this model helps cultivate students' innovative thinking, teamwork skills, and problem-solving abilities, making them excellent talents with comprehensive qualities. By organically combining competitions, innovation projects, and graduation theses, students can continuously improve themselves through practical experiences and develop important qualities such as independent thinking, innovative practice, and comprehensive abilities. Therefore, constructing the "competition-innovation project -graduation thesis" integrated training model is of great significance in improving the quality and effectiveness of undergraduate talent cultivation.
