Third, the advantages of studying in Cambridge University
1. The environment for scientific research and education is free and pleasant.
The scientific research environment is most directly related to the emergence of great scientists. When talking about the advantages of Cambridge's scientific research environment, Leszek Borysiewicz, president of Cambridge University, did not list how many advanced experimental equipment there are, but pointed out that it is very important to provide academic freedom so that researchers can have time and space to carry out research according to their personal interests.
Shi Yongjiang, a China scholar who came to Cambridge from China and is now the research director of the International Manufacturing Center of Cambridge University, is deeply touched by this. He said that doing research in Cambridge is rarely disturbed, and what fields to study and what academic conferences to hold are all possible in principle.
On the other hand, Cambridge also has an educational environment for young people to grow into scientists.

First, it is convenient to communicate with masters, like Newton's famous saying, "standing on the shoulders of giants."
Another great benefit comes from the free interaction between students. Cambridge attracts outstanding students from all over the world, and the knowledge sparks generated by students from different backgrounds in the world can be as effective as studying in a laboratory or classroom.
2. People-oriented technology
In Cambridge, the phrase "people-oriented technology" can be used not only in scientific research itself, but also at a higher level, that is, giving back to society with scientific research results. For decades, researchers from Cambridge University have established more than 1000 scientific and technological enterprises in Cambridge, which not only increased social wealth, but also provided a large number of employment opportunities.
Cambridge has a mission of "contributing to society" for itself. Schools advocate this spirit to students and researchers, and society should benefit from it if there are achievements. Of course, it would be better if they could get economic returns in the end.
Cambridge Science Park was established by Trinity College of Cambridge University in 1970s. It is the earliest science and technology park in Britain. At present, there are more than 100 companies and more than 5000 employees working here. It is the most prestigious science and technology park in Britain.
