EPFL (Switzerland) vs UBC (Canada) for Graduate studies

[mbsid786]

Would any one like to discuss which university is better for Masters in Electrical engineering having better employer and academic reputation.
Since EPFL is ranked higher on QS ranking than UBC and Waterloo but I'm confused what would be the job perspectives after graduating from Switzerland globally.
I think graduating from UBC can get us 3 years visa extension to work in Canada but for Switzerland professional work chances are very less, to my knowledge.
Thank you!

Hi EPFL is one of the top engineering institute in all of the Europe. In fact most of the IIT'ians(top notch) from India goes there as they have student exchange program with them. If u compare EPFL is better then UBC in terms of research output. Only the graduation course are in English but you still need some french to lead a good life in laussane . So if your main aim is to get job and get settled then UBC is the best (one of my friend graduated and got placed is accenture). On other side EPFL is good if u want to get into PHD ,any university from US university will take you happily.I have rarely seen graduates from (MIT,Standford) going to UBC rather they will choose EPFL when comes to engineering.
Also note that EPFL is so cheap,i dont know about UBC in terms of money....
If you don't want to get settled(PR) and want to do the serious shit in studies then EPFL is the best.....
other wise UBC is good to
ALL the best

Thank you very much, that's a great piece of information. Have you studied anywhere in foreign country or been at these places?
