Munich rated second-best university city in the world
QS Best Student Cities Ranking covers student experience and quality of life
A favorite with students, excellent job opportunities for graduates and outstanding quality of life: In the latest edition of the QS Best Student Cities Ranking, Munich placed second behind number one London.
To compile its rankings, the British university service provider QS Quacquarelli Symonds surveys former students on their experiences, prospective students on where they would like to study, and companies on how they see the quality of universities. Along with employment opportunities of young people in the cities, the survey evaluates the cost of living for students, openness of universities to international students and the percentage of students in the local population. In addition, the ranking incorporates several international indices for such criteria as tolerance and inclusion, safety, environmental quality and other factors in the quality of life.
In the latest edition of the QS Best Student Cities Ranking, Munich placed second in the world. Along with top-ranked London, the top 10 included Seoul, Tokyo, Berlin, Melbourne, Zurich, Sydney, Paris, Montreal and Boston (with the last three tied for ninth). Since the last edition in 2019, Munich overtook Tokyo and Melbourne.
