Spending a semester abroad in Europe...

.ACS.

Well, I've missed out on spending a semester in the US. Only got a 2.1, so Wisconsin-Madison is out of the window. Looking into the possibility of doing a semester in Europe instead, and have the following options available to me:

Denmark - Aarhus Universitet
Netherlands - Rijksuniversiteit Groningen
Netherlands - Universiteit van Amsterdam
Netherlands - Universiteit Utrecht
Norway - University of Bergen
Poland - University of Warsaw
Belgium - Universitat Catholique de Louvain
France - Universite de Paris X
Denmark - University of Copenhagen

It's not a great selection, unfortunately. :frown:

But I'm looking into them all, and was just wondering if anyone here had heard anything about them or had any comments or anything.

Cheers.

Don't stress too much about the curriculum/reputation of an institution you are going to on a semester abroad. In reality employers will see it as a bonus that you have been abroad and lived/adapted/studied in a different country and in that case Europe could be even better than the US. Regarding curriculum issues they will just care about what modules you have studied at Southampton.

However I am sure there will be someone come on here to tell you that none of those are quantitative enough so your career prospects will be halved by going there.
