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.
