ETH vs Imperial in Robotics

[ptriantd]

Hello everyone!

I have been accepted by the Mres in Medical Robotics and Image-Guided Recognition in Imperial College London and Robotics, Systems and Control in ETH and I am having a pretty difficult time deciding between both of them. Any pros or cons about the programmes or the universities in general?

They are both top tier universities and very close in global ranking. I believe imperial is slightly higher ranked. If the systems and control degree is in electrical engineering, I would take that over the robotics degree (ee's can find jobs in robotics but robotics degree holders would have difficulty getting certain ee jobs.). If they are both robotics research advisors and research projects and decide based on that.
