On the global front, London has topped the rankings becoming the best city for students worldwide.
London’s Mayor Sadiq Khan, who actively campaigned for international students to come to London, 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
