I am an Indian and I have an admit from KTH Royal's master's program, Electromagnetics Fusion and Space Engineering, and Aalto University’s master's program in Electronics and Nanotechnology.
I didn't get a scholarship for either one. Program-wise, I am a bit more aligned with the Aalto program because it has a perfect mix of courses in the exact way I want to study. (I just wish to do some interesting things with radio tech for space: yes, that's radio astronomy.)
I had a long-standing interest in electrodynamics, so I applied to the KTH program so I could study some mathematically and physically rigorous electromagnetics courses in the field of plasma and space physics. I love these!!😍
I am planning to do a PhD right after my master's. I should easily pick Aalto University’s master's program as I am more aligned towards it, but KTH has a better international reputation, and I think I can apply for a PhD in countries like Switzerland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, etc., where PhD salaries are higher and it is considered a job. Aalto is a new university, so I am confused about which to choose. Does Aalto also have the same or similar international reputation?
Thank you for your time!
