Other British cities featuring among the top 30 are Edinburgh (15th) and Manchester (29th).
The rankings highlight each city’s performance across six categories1, with London’s high number of top universities, excellent employment opportunities and diversity of its student body as standout factors cementing the capital’s number one position - as well as the positive feedback provided by London’s students.
The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said: “The fact that London has again been ranked the best city in the world in which to be a student is fantastic news – and is no surprise given that London is home to world-leading higher education institutions and a vibrant cultural life. This is further evidence that London is open to students and talent from around the world.”

We are extremely proud of London’s many world-class universities, our talented and diverse student body and of the incredible experiences students have in our city.
