SSE vs EUR for career in (quantitative) finance

Hi WSO, I need help to decide my undergrad university. I would like to pursue a career in finance or quantitative finance (i know quant is a lot more math related but I think I could follow up my bachelor with something more specific). Both SSE and EUR offer fantastic programs.

SSE has a really strong economics and business program and many important banks affiliated, while EUR has a double bachelor (4yrs) in economics and econometrics (which could help me with a quant role, at least I think) but is way more focused on management (RSM) and collabs with consulting firms (like pwc) not important banks.

As a city I like more Rotterdam than Stockholm and I think it is way more social and has a better student life.

I'm still not sure which master suits me the most but I would like to work in London or DACH (this is why i will probably change UNI for it). I would really appreciate any help.

Thank you.

Both SSE and Erasmus place quite well in London. At the end, both are really good so pick the one you like best and would like to study in :)
