It was measured by fellow student survey respondent opinions as to whether they would wish to live there.
Desirability (16.67%): This indicator was built on the basis of whether students would want to study and live in the city.Student Mix (16.67%): A measure of whether international students are well-represented among the student population.Rankings (16.67%): A measurement of whether each city has a wide range of high-quality, globally-ranked institutions.We have constructed our rankings using six, equally weighted indicators, each measuring different contributors towards student decisions and their higher education study destinations. The above has led to no US entrants in the top 10 – Boston remains the nation’s best student city but still fell from 8th to 13th this year.9 of 13 see their rank for Employer Activity decline. The same can be said for our Affordability indicator – 12 out of 13 have fallen. All but one have seen their rank for Student Mix drop. US cities have experienced significantly lowered ranks amongst QS’ Student Mix, Affordability, and Employer Activity indicators.Melbourne is joined by Sydney (9 th, up 13 places), while Munich (6 th, up from 9 th) leapfrogs Berlin (7 th, down from 6 th) for the first time since 2015 Both Germany and Australia can boast two of the world’s top 10 student cities.They ranked 2nd overall and produced world-leading scores for Employer Activity and the second highest for Desirability Tokyo has achieved their highest position since the Rankings were formed.This meant that 2017’s front-runner, Montreal, Canada, had to settle for 4th spot this time around.
Our multifaceted analysis provides insight into the world’s leading student cities and, in turn, represents a comprehensive overview unlike any other.įor the first time, since its formulation, London has emerged as the world’s best student city.
