I'm on my last year of a bsc in physics and math, and am looking for a good masters program.
I want it to be in a good university, preferably in Europe. It is also important that it has a stipend or a scholarship available.

I found a few good options, but I'd love to hear your recommendations and make sure I didn't miss anything good.

Well, I haven't finished my bachelor's yet, so I don't feel that I can decide what interests me at this stage. I hope to make that decision during my masters studies.
However, I do lean towards theoretical and mathematical physics, in the fields of quantum mechanics, solid state physics and other fields.
