关于学校：

赫尔大学位于东约克郡，以英国本土学生为主，中国学生有500名左右，仅占3%，为国际学生提供了良好的语言环境，

此外，生活成本全英最低，CSC奖学金能很好地cover整个学习生涯。

学校综合排名在英国高校是中游水平，但对于研究来讲，专业排名和业内口碑更加重要。系里的实力在学术和工业界均有很高的认可度。

国内一些不错的学校，譬如清华上交，也有经常性来交换。学校是工科强校，很多项目都是比较接地与工业界合作。

课题组学习氛围浓厚，实验室设备齐全，资金充足，十分鼓励和支持学生积极参加各类国际学术会议，同时每年都会前往Diamond Light Source, UK, Advanced Photon Source, USA, Swiss Light Source, Switzerland等世界一流光源实验室交流学习，开展实验
