Having entered the QS Best Student Cities in the 2014 edition, Prague retains its place among the world’s top 50 cities for students for 2015. The capital of the Czech Republic boasts three universities ranked among the world’s best. Its leading institution, Charles University, is joined in the QS World University Rankings® 2014/15 by the Czech Technical University in Prague and the University of Economics, Prague.
The resulting large and internationally diverse student community gives Prague a strong score in the “student mix” category of the index. It gains its second strongest score for “affordability”; while international tuition fees are in the mid-range, Prague is a more less expensive place to live than many of the other entrants in the QS Best Student Cities, according to Mercer’s 2014 Cost of Living Survey.
Though still establishing itself as an international study destination, Prague is already a staple in the list of top European city-break destinations, thanks to its striking castle, UNESCO-listed medieval Old Town, and thriving arts, museums and nightlife. In recent years, it’s also been recognized as an international innovation hub, ranked 29th in the Innovation Cities Index.
