After being named the world's most livable city for the third time, Melbourne earned recognition as the nation's most favourable study destination.
According to QS (Quacquarelli Symonds Limited), a company specialising in ranking education and international study, Melbourne is the fourth best city in the world for university students.
The three cities that ranked above Melbourne were Paris in the number one spot, London in second and Boston coming in at third.
The results of the QS Best Student City Rankings were found by comparing a number of factors including student population, the quality of living, employer activity, affordability and the world ranking of universities in the area.
The University of Melbourne is Victoria's leading tertiary institute and was listed as number 31 in the QS world university rankings.
The placing was one of the top in Australia, second only to the ACT's Australian National University, which featured at number 27.
