On 5 September, the School of Science (XJTLU) welcomed a dynamic group of an unprecedented postgraduate recruitment class. There were 113 Master & 74 PhD new highly qualified students excited to join and held an informative induction session in room SB102. This provided an excellent opportunity for the new students to learn more about the school and their respective research projects.

He encouraged the students to use their passion, advance their academic exploration, and foster personal growth.
