Study in Europe’s #1 city for students

London continues to be one of the world's leading destinations for international students. In the 2026 QS Best Student Cities Index, based on feedback from more than 95,000 international students and employers, London was ranked the top student city in Europe, recognised for its university quality, career opportunities, diversity, and overall student experience. 

For students planning to study abroad, choosing the right destination is important because it influences every aspect of their study experience. 

Why study in London? 

London offers students an environment that few cities in the world can match. 

• Academic quality: Home to world leading universities and academic institutions, London is recognised for the quality of its higher education. 

• Career opportunities: As one of the world's leading business and commercial centres, London gives students the opportunity to study in a city where global organisations, entrepreneurs, and innovative industries come together. 

• Global diversity: Bringing together people, ideas, and cultures from across the globe, London gives students the opportunity to experience different cultures and build global connections throughout their time abroad. 

• Student experience: From world famous museums, galleries, theatres, and historic landmarks to vibrant neighbourhoods, markets, and cultural events, there is always something to discover beyond the classroom. 

• Connectivity: An extensive public transport network makes it easy to explore every corner of London, with convenient connections to the rest of the UK and Europe. 

Add even more value to your London experience 

Students studying our 4-week Certificates in London can also choose to add 3 US college credits through our School of Record partnership with Fairleigh Dickinson University (FDU). 

Students who choose this option receive an official FDU transcript confirming the US college credits they have earned. These credits may be transferred towards a future degree at their home institution, subject to that institution's credit transfer policies. 

Find out more about how you can transfer credits, or chat to our team if you have any questions.
