>shit global ranking. Is this a meme university?
Global rankings are the memes. Any dutch uni will be top tier

>any Dutch Uni top tier

I thought this too, like Australian unis seem way too highly ranked. But will employers think like this?

Apply for Ph.D. in Singapore

Are you Boyd

This is fucking bullshit and you know it.

Most universities that aren't American are shit.

>gets accepted to princeton
>second highest choice is a no-name dutch uni
how

Don't do it. It's a PhD you should try to get to the most relevant uni you so can networking and get a job after it.
If you wanted to travel while studying you should have done it during your undergrad. And if you really want to go to Europe, you can always do an international stance during your PhD.

>stance
Research stay, I mean.
That's why it's important to go to a good uni, so your supervisor can connect you to other good places

Fuck of were full

>Tilburg

Big fucking meme. Just to show you how irrelevant it is, this is a country you can drive through in a few hours and I didn't know Tilburg had a university until a few years back.

Go to Amsterdam for financial mathematics and Rotterdam for econometrics.

I really wanna go to Amsterdam desu

Financial math PhD?
So basically chaos theory chronomancer?

Damn, I forgot there was this idiot that got offered full time scholarship to princeton who got kicked out because he smoked weed. This guy's a meme, don't reply to this idiot.

If you fuckers actually believe some random Australian bum who shitposts on Sup Forums got accepted for a PhD at Princeton, you are immensely retarded.

The chances of someone who's smart enough to get accepted into top 10 Ph.D. Programme and browses this shit board is like nearly 0.

Idk who the fuck they're talking about but it's not me. The only other PhD offer I got was to Monash in Melbourne

Wait what about Leiden? That's supposed to be really good isn't it?

Some other dude from your country (if it isn't you) got an offer from Princeton University in the US, with full ride scholarship and got kicked out because he smoked weed.

It was an Australian guy too so no clue why the yank accused you of being him.
Leiden is one of the most notable, but it specialises in Law and related fields on the one hand, and also has a very big historic tradition in physics.

But financial stuff? Not really. They have a maths department (I got my B.Sc. there) so you can undoubtedly join that. But for financial mathematics, UvA is your best bet.

Are the research language medium and classes in English?

UvA is definitely the goal, that and ETH Zurich.

How does EU admission work? I am an Irish Citizen, does that give me an advantage over other non-Europeans?

I did a 6 month study abroad at Maastricht University for European Studies. I really enjoyed being there.

Yes. Doing a M.Sc. in theoretical physics and everything is in English.
ETH Zurich is on another tier. Best university in mainland Europe.

For a EU citizen, I THINK it might be cheaper than for a non-EU student. But honestly, I have no clue.

You are treated as a national then. Non EU citizens are often fucked.

t. EU pro

90% of PhD students are autistic
Is it hard to believe one of the many Chinese cartoons watchers who posts in a subforum of a Chinese cartoons website could be accepted in a good uni to start a PhD?
This hypothetical user might never finish his PhD if it makes it more believable

It's Princeton. PhD program.

Yes, it's 100% impossible. Undergrad is entirely possible.

I don't see why would it be impossible

Because you have absolutely no clue how hard it is to get into Princeton for a PhD in a scientific subject.

Also, Sup Forums and Sup Forums at large is filled with bums and losers.

In the Netherlands we consider all universities equal.
But some universities are more specialised than others.
But it does not affect careers here because all universities should be on the same page.

Leiden is known for law.
Delft for tech and chemistry if I believe.
Eindhoven for technology and IT.
The biggest universities are in Utrecht.

The only true prestige university is business university Nyerode. If you get a phd there you will be considered for ready for a staff and direction job at the Dutch multinationals..

>wanting to go to Amsterdam

You also have to consider the 'legacy' bullshit that a lot of those elite universities have.

Only for undergrad. For grad there is a massive difference between a uni like UvA and Tilburg lmao.
Not for a PhD in a scientific subject. That happens for Law, MBA, etc. where you can bullshit your way through.

You cannot bullshit your way to a PhD in mathematics at Princeton.

Thanks for the honesty user. Really appreciate it.

You are 100% about correct about that, but I meant acceptance into an institution like Princeton, Yale etc...

But there's this , daddy making a big donation to the uni or is it that hard to imagine that someone who is actually good at academic stuff could spend a couple hours a week here?

No problem.

For what it's worth, I'm currently halfway through an M.Sci. in theoretical physics at Utrecht. So I'm quite familiar with Dutch uni's when it comes to the sciences.

Go for ETH I'd say. It's by far better than any Dutch university for financial mathematics. From what I know.

Anyone happen to know about the University that Emmanuel Macron went to? Heard some good shit about it.

>Just to show you how irrelevant it is, this is a country you can drive through in a few hours and I didn't know Tilburg had a university
This desu

The Dutch Prime Minister teaches sociology on a high school every friday.

Are you at NUS or Nanyang?

Plan on applying to HKU and HKUST, but Singapore looks cool too. Only thing that put me off was having to do the GRE desu.

In HKU, in my experience you'll see 2 types of people, cringey libtards and psycho socialists.

Singapore's universities aims at being as professional as possible. We let you study the things that you like as much a single possible. We don't force shit on you much like how the curriculum in China based on experience has you study compulsory communist shit.

Thats bullshit though. On my university (law) a lot of people browse places like Sup Forums.

We were talking about a PhD at Princeton in a scientific discipline you fucking bum.

Dutch universities have piss easy curriculums. Law on top of that is a piss easy study in and of itself.

>Dutch University law students = Harvard Law School/Princeton Ph.D./ Johns Hopkins Med school students

Apply to London School of Economics, you know because London is the second financial capital of the world and all

If you got a PhD you're set for life mate. They don't look at your uni, only your work

lmao wage slaves

Bull fucking shit

Don't listen to this nub.
