Current students studying in London rated the British capital very highly for “outstanding cultural, economic, and educational opportunities” according to the city rankings created by the education analysts QS Quacquarelli Symonds.

The rankings are published annually and are based on its own league tables as well as surveys of 85,000 current and prospective students around the world. They cover cities with a population of at least 250,000 and two or more universities placed in the QS world university rankings.

Considering a range of factors, such as affordability, desirability and the opinions of current students, the QS Best Student Cities ranking provides an overview of the best places to live and study around the world.

London retained top spot for the third year running ahead of rivals such as Tokyo, Boston and Berlin thanks to the presence of world-leading institutions such as Imperial College and high ratings for its openness to international students and graduate career opportunities.
