Before doing my PhD, I was a master’s student in Civil Engineering at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. When I was researching which university would be best for my PhD studies, I found Loughborough University as it was commended for its research strength and high rankings in my discipline, especially in the UK.
After an online interview with my supervisors, I was touched by their friendliness, kindness and wisdom. When I got the scholarship from the University and the China Scholarship Council, and told my friends and family, they agreed with Loughborough being the best choice for my PhD studies.
