well in the top ten are Canada, Australia and Europe, all of which have
two student cities on the list. Boston is the only US city that makes
it into the top ten.
There’s no change at the top of the table, with Paris coming out in
first place, and it’s quickly followed by Melbourne, which was fifth
last year, and London, which drops to third place.
Other UK cities that made it into the top 50 include Edinburgh (26th), Manchester (29th) and, for the first time, Coventry at 45th.
To be included in the ranking each city must have a population of
over 250,000, and must be home to at least two ranked institutions in
the QS World University Rankings. 116 cities in the world qualify, and
50 have been ranked in the table.
