QS Best Student Cities Ranking 2019: London Named World's Best Student City

刊登日期: 2019-07-31

LONDON, July 31, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- 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, and the regard in which it is held by the global student body. These positive elements outweigh London's low Affordability score.

Cities are ranked according to: the number and performance of their universities, the extent to which employers are actively hiring there, the city's affordability, the city's desirability and quality of life, and the diversity of a city's student body. Feedback from over 87,000 current and prospective international students also informs the results.

  • Both 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;
  • Asia's top city remains Tokyo (2nd) followed by Seoul (10th) and Hong Kong (14th);
  • China's top are Beijing (32nd) and Shanghai (33rd):
  • India's top are Bangalore (81st) and 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).
  • Scandinavia's best is Stockholm (37th);
  • Moscow (34th) leads in Eastern Europe, followed by Prague (35th);
  • Budapest (43rd) tops the Affordability Indicator, followed by Kuala Lumpur;
  • Latin America's best city is Buenos Aires once more (31st ).
  • Dubai-Ajman-Sharjah (60th) tops the Middle East;
  • Africa's top are Johannesburg (78th ) and Cape Town (80th).

This is further evidence that London is open to students and talent from around the world."
