Utrecht, also known as Utrecht, is a beautiful and pleasant city with a population of about 330,000, of which nearly 30% are aged 65,438+05 ~ 30, and a large part of the citizens are students. There are many small towns around Utrecht, all of which belong to Utrecht province. For example, a small town in the east is called Zeiss. It takes four to fifty minutes to get to the center of Utrecht by bike and half an hour to go to school by bike. Utrecht university lies in the east of Utrecht. There is a concentrated business circle in the center of the Netherlands, and a small town is also a world famous brand, with everything from general goods. Prices in the Netherlands are much higher than those in China, but they have many shops with a wide range of goods, from vegetables to gold, silver and jewelry. Utrecht is not only the famous signing place of the Treaty of Utrecht, but also the beautiful canal running through the city, the ancient downtown, the famous landmark Dom Church, the Miffy Rabbit Museum and many cultural activities, which make many people unforgettable. Holland is a country where tradition and modernity coexist. Their architecture and traditional culture are well preserved. There are still few high-rise buildings on the streets in the city center. Some traditional buildings are in the majority, and the surrounding houses are mostly two-story buildings. The order here is so good that most people can consciously abide by it. Utrecht university enjoys a high reputation in Europe, where there are students from all over the world. The difference between Utrecht University and China University is that it pays attention to practicality and adopts various teaching methods: lectures, workshops, projects, reports and demonstrations. The same purpose is to make students have a deeper understanding of the courses they have studied. The Dutch, known as language translators, have to learn a foreign language since primary school. English is a must, so most students can speak French, German or Spanish in addition to English.

2. Nobel Prize winners
Among the courses offered by all colleges, veterinary medicine, meteorology and physical marine geology, science policy, general social science and general linguistics, Portuguese, Celtic, modern Turkish and Arabic are all offered exclusively by utrecht university. In addition, the drama research department and romantic language teaching program of Utrecht University are the largest in the Netherlands, while the Academy of Earth Sciences and the College of Pharmacy are the only two in the Netherlands. Over the past 380 years, many famous figures have emerged among teachers and students in utrecht university, including 12 Nobel Prize winners, including:
Physicist William Conrad Roentgen won the first Nobel Prize in physics for his discovery of X-rays.
Jacobus Henricus Van't Hoff, a German physical chemist, became the first Nobel Prize winner in chemistry in 190 1 for his research work on reaction speed, chemical equilibrium and osmotic pressure.
Einto Eithoven, a Dutch physiologist, won the 1924 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine for inventing the electrocardiograph and using it to discover the electrical characteristics of the heart.
Ekman, a Dutch physician and pathologist, proved that beriberi was caused by the lack of a food factor, which led to the formation of the concept of malnutrition and the discovery of vitamins, thus winning the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine with F Hopkins.
Leopold Ruzicka, a Swiss chemist, won the 1929 Nobel Prize in chemistry together with A Butnande of Germany for his research on cyclic molecules and terpenes (a hydrocarbon in various vegetable oils).
Physical chemist Peter J.W. Debye won the 1936 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his research on dipole moment, X-ray and light scattering in gases.
Blom blom, a Dutch-born American physicist, won the 198 1 Nobel Prize in Physics together with A.L. Grasshaw of the United States and K.M.B Sibange of Ruidian in recognition of their research.
