Could you comment on that ? I understand you are italian and you have accepted a job offer abroad.
What did you think of the offers/conditions in the countries you have not chosen ?
I was thinking of this the other day, and a colleague is leaving for a good job offer from a Philips subsidiary.
As for the original poster,
If you are from S.A. then there are specific scholarship offers from the EU for students from there. Most of them go to Spain, some go to Portugal and a few go to France and Italy, etc.
IST in Lisbon offers MsC and PhDs, chipidea and a couple of other companies offer jobs.
In Spain there are few/little jobs for microelectronics, but the conditions for MsC/PhD can be quite nice (food/weather/people and study level).
France has very good support for foreign students (housing, medical insurance, etc), and the scholarship money they pay is OK, I hear. The problem is to learn electronics in french...
KUL in Belgium is a good option if you don't mind the rain and generally poor weather. They pay PhDs, but not MsCs, I think. Same for NL in general. Twente or Delft are good places to try, and apply for scholarship.
I would suggest to enroll in the MsC/PhD course of the country that you think likely to find a job later.
Do you have a work permit for EU already ? If you have, why not applying for a job at IC companies, say as a test engineer ?
