Abstract: The lack of personalised adaptation in higher vocational curriculum systems is increasingly prominent. To address this, we propose a knowledge graph-based curriculum system construction and path optimisation model (KG-VCSPOM). The model integrates two modules: a knowledge graph construction module using BERT and GGAT to extract course entities and relationships, and a path optimisation module combining GCN embedding and reinforcement learning to compute optimal learning sequences. Tests show the model achieves an F1-score of 84.6% (baseline CF: 71.2%), a noise robustness attenuation rate of 6.2%, and a user satisfaction score of 4.5. Performance remains stable as data scales to 100,000 entries. These results confirm the model's advantages in improving recommendation accuracy, adaptability, and practicality, providing an innovative solution for intelligent higher vocational education.
