      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Plenty of resources available to develop your research. Possibility of learning from world-leading experts. Excellent atmosphere, international, and somehow between academy and industry.

      Cons

      The difficulty finding accommodation and the high prices in the area can be a problem for doctoral students.
