LONDON, July 31, 2019 — London is the world’s best student city for the second consecutive year, according to the latest guide to the globe’s top urban study destinations. The sixth edition of the QS Best Student Cities Ranking, compiled by global consultancy QS Quacquarelli Symonds, sees London outrank competition from Tokyo and Melbourne.
London remains the world’s leading student city due to the high number of top universities present in the city, its high levels of employer activity and student diversity. Further, the global student body holds it in high regard. These positive elements outweigh London’s low ‘Affordability’ score.
QS ranks Student Cities according to:
- Number and performance of their Universities.
- The extent to which employers are actively hiring there.
- City’s affordability.
- City’s Desirability and Quality of Life.
- Diversity of the city’s student body.
Feedback from over 87,000 current and prospective international students also impacts the results.
- Both the US and UK have 14 cities ranked, led by Boston (12th) and London (1st) respectively.
- Canada’s top City is Montreal (6th) and second-best according to the students surveyed;
- Toronto (11th) ranks third for Desirability;

- China’s top is Beijing (32nd), with Shanghai (33rd):
- India’s top is Bangalore (81st), with Mumbai (85th);
- Australia boasts seven cities, with Melbourne (3rd) and Sydney (9th) confirming their top-10 rank;
- Auckland (37th) is New Zealand’s top city;
- In Continental Europe, Munich (4th) leads, followed by Berlin (5th), Paris (7th) and Zurich (8th);
