There are so many talented students at University College London that Wan Sheng is definitely not on the list among them, and it can be said that 'there is no less of him, and no more of him'.

As one of the most famous universities in the UK, University College London is the founding college of the University of London Alliance, and is known as the "G5 Super Elite University" along with the University of Cambridge, the University of Oxford, Imperial College London, and the London School of Economics and Political Science.

The "G5 Super Elite University" represents the UK's top research strength, quality of teachers and students, and economic strength.

To date, there are 32 Nobel laureates and three Fields Medalists (the world's highest mathematics prize) among alumni who have studied, worked or are currently working at UCL, as well as celebrities in politics, science, culture and entertainment.

These include the "Father of AlphaGo" Damis Hassabis, the "Father of Optical Fiber" Charles Kao, the "Father of Telephone Communication" and inventor Alexander Bell, the President of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Lu Jiaxi, Rabindranath Tagore, Mahatma Gandhi of India, Japanese Prime Ministers Hirobumi Ito and Junichiro Koizumi, and many more.

The number of celebrities coming out of University College London can't be counted, so what can Wan Sheng count?

Wan Sheng and Huo Kehua had a joking greeting, and then Huo Kehua talked about the purpose of letting him come, "It's Dean Arthur who wants to see you." ”

"Dean Arthur?"

"You don't know? Michael is the president of the university. ”

"Of course I know, why I've been in school for so many years, but as soon as you say 'Arthur', I don't think about it for a while."

Huo Kehua nodded, remembered something again, and said, "By the way, the medical department of the college appreciates your research, and someone has proposed to award you an honorary doctorate." ”

"Huh?"

Wan Sheng was really a little stunned.

Honorary doctorate, that's a great honor!

An honorary doctorate is also a type of degree. An honorary degree awarded on the basis of academic achievement or contribution to the country and society without examination or dissertation defense.

The requirements for this degree vary from country to country.

Honorary doctorates have been conferred in China since 1983 to recognize outstanding scholars, scientists, well-known politicians and social activists at home and abroad for their outstanding contributions in the fields of academics, economics, education, science, culture and health, as well as to social development and human progress.

In the West, the practice of honorary degrees is a long way back, dating back to the Middle Ages, when universities awarded honorary degrees as a sign of respect for someone or to be exempt from certain legal obligations.

Honorary degrees are awarded without the normal progression process (Bachelor's, Master's, PhD) and without the submission of a dissertation. It is more of an honour to reward the degree-grantee's outstanding contributions in the relevant field, or to reward him or her significant discoveries in the relevant field.

British universities are fully liberal and democratic in choosing who to choose for their honorary doctorates.

The criteria and procedures for awarding honorary doctorates vary from university to university, making the recipients of honorary doctorates at UK universities very diverse.

For example, some people with outstanding abilities in various fields may be able to obtain honorary doctorates in the United Kingdom.

A figure worth mentioning is Mr. Li Ka-shing, Chairman of Hong Kong Cheung Kong Group.

In 2001, the University of Cambridge conferred an honorary doctorate of laws on Ka Shing Lee, saying that while building his business empire, he also did not forget to nurture the next generation and contribute to the country, and highly praised his selfless contribution to education and noble patriotism.

Furthermore. There are also many well-known figures in China, all of whom have received honorary doctorates.

Honorary doctorates are also graded in 'grades', such as the 'honorary doctorate' degree awarded by some low-ranking schools in the UK. It's just a nice thing to say, but in fact, it's not recognized by the whole world.

The honorary doctorates of the 'G5 elite universities' are different, European countries. Even in the United States, their honorary doctorates are recognized.

University College London is one of the 'G5 elite universities', so hear from Hok Kehua. Wan Sheng was still surprised.

His research in sports medicine, although very in-depth, has not yet been applied in practice, and there is no so-called 'outstanding contribution', and he does not understand why he can be considered for an 'honorary doctorate' by the university.

Wan Sheng asked.

Ben Ho Kehua smiled slightly and said, "Wansheng, don't underestimate yourself, there are some situations you don't know, in this year's Nobel Prize selection, you were nominated for the 'Medical Award' for your research in sports medicine." ”

“…… Nobel Prize in Medicine? ”

Ben Hockwald nodded affirmatively, "Nobel Prize in Medicine...... I really envy you, you are only 30 years old to be nominated for this award, it is said that many medical experts value you very much, thinking that your research will promote the development of medicine in the world. ”

"However, this year's nomination has ended in February, and you should be nominated next year, but I don't think you have a good chance, the most important thing is that your research has been discussed at the Carolinska Institutet, and some professors think that it will take a long time for your research to be ...... in practice."

Wan Sheng listened attentively.

Ben Hock Kwah is talking about the Nobel Prize in Medicine, the world's highest medical award, there is a selection every year, the deadline for nominations is February 1 every year, although some people mentioned the name of Wansheng, and the Carolingian Institute of Medicine has also discussed Wansheng's research, but the nomination deadline has passed, so if you want to get a real nomination, you have to wait for next year.

Although he was not directly nominated, Wan Sheng was quite excited.

That's the Nobel Prize in Medicine, not to mention the actual award, even if it is nominated, it is a great honor.

"Dean Arthur is looking for me for this?" After Huo Kehua finished speaking, Wan Sheng asked.

Huo Kehua nodded, and shook his head again, "He should be for sports medicine education." ”

"Education?"

"I also don't know, Michael went to the United States and will be back tomorrow, you'd better stay in London for two more days."

"That's fine."

After the two talked, Wan Sheng left, staying in London for one night and going to the president's office at University College London the next afternoon to find the president, Michael Arthur.

Michael Arthur has been the Vice-Chancellor of University College London for many years, and before that he was a well-known figure in 'applied physics', and one of his patented inventions, the Ringing-circuit, was an electronic ringing circuit used in telephone systems, and the popularity of this invention also made Michael Arthur famous.

However, after the 90s of the last century, Michael Arthur devoted himself to education and did not make any contributions to scientific research, and his name gradually disappeared from the research field.

Aside from a few news reports about the 'Vice-Chancellor of University College London', Michael Arthur's name is rarely associated with 'world-class academic research'.

Michael Arthur was very happy when he met Wansheng, he praised Wansheng for his youth and promisingness, and then directly mentioned two things.

One is that Wan Sheng has been nominated for an 'honorary doctorate' from University College London, and the second is the key point, which is to hope that Wan Sheng will add some simple content of his research to sports medicine education at University College London.

Wan Sheng was a little stunned when he heard this, and immediately understood.

In the world, 'sports medicine' is a new subject, even the world's leading university London, 'sports medicine' education content is very scarce, after all, this is an emerging discipline in the past decade, the undergraduate education content in the college is very small, and few students can get a master's degree from it.

Wansheng's research in sports medicine has been able to obtain a master's degree, and his research has been widely recognized, which can be said to be quite remarkable, and many of his papers are novel ideas, and the depth of research has reached the world's top level.

In this research, Wansheng is already the world's top, so his research has been recognized by many medical experts in the world, so some of the simple content can be used as the educational content of 'sports medicine'.

Michael Arthur hopes that Wansheng can help add some content to UCL 'sports medicine' education to improve the school's education in this area.

After thinking about it, Wansheng directly agreed.

He had absolutely no reason to refuse.

It can also be said that it is a great honor to be able to add content to the education of University College London, not to mention, he was born in University College London, and he still has a lot of feelings for the college, and it is also what he hopes to do to help his alma mater as much as he can.

After Wansheng agreed, Michael Arthur invited him to a shared dinner, and later talked about some things about the Nobel Prize nomination in medicine.

"You're still young, don't be in too much of a hurry."

"I think you'll have a chance next year, but I can't guarantee it, because no one knows what those Americans think." By Americans, he is actually referring to medical professors who work in the United States.

Later, Michael Arthur asked about his research progress, and Wan Sheng then summarized it, and also talked about the medical device company owned by his Tagore Wan Group, which will set up a research team to manufacture some of the most cutting-edge sports recovery equipment with his research.

Michael Arthur was intrigued, asked a lot about it, and promised that after the equipment was built, the four large hospitals affiliated with University College London would consider taking some of the trials.

Wan Sheng was very happy to hear the principal's promise, he didn't expect to be able to negotiate a 'deal'.

In this way, the atmosphere of the conversation between the two is better. (To be continued.) )
