Hello and welcome to the forum! It's great to have you here. I think that Scandinavic countries are definitely great places for higher education, particularly in the field of physics. Denmark and Sweden both have several universities that rank well on international rankings, such as the University of Copenhagen, Lund University, and the Technical University of Denmark. Additionally, the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm is a world-renowned medical university. You can also look into other countries with strong research universities such as Germany, the Netherlands, and the UK. You can use websites such as QS World University Rankings or Times Higher Education to compare universities and see which ones could be good fits for you. Good luck with your studies!
