QS Best Student Cities Ranking 2026

Seoul has been named the world’s best student city in the QS Best Student Cities Ranking, ending London’s six-year streak at the top. The South Korean capital climbed two spots this year, praised for its international appeal, outstanding universities, and rich student experience.

The QS ranking evaluates 150 cities across 58 countries based on factors such as university quality, affordability, student diversity, and desirability. While the United States and the United Kingdom each have 16 cities represented, Seoul’s rise to the top highlights the growing global recognition of Asia’s education hubs.

London fell to third place due to a decline in affordability, while Vienna entered the top 10 for the first time. Kuala Lumpur (12th), Taipei (14th), and Hong Kong (17th) also made notable gains, reflecting Asia’s increasing prominence in global education.

Ju-Ho Lee, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Education for South Korea, celebrated the ranking, saying:

“We are proud that Seoul has been recognized as the best student city in the world. This reflects global confidence in Korea’s higher education system and Seoul’s unique blend of academic excellence, vibrant culture, cutting-edge innovation, and a safe, welcoming environment.”

With this recognition, Seoul solidifies its status as a leading destination for international students, combining world-class academics with a dynamic and inclusive urban experience.

Department of Economics and Social Sciences at Brac University

Economic Resilience of Bangladesh: Experts Discuss Role of Fiscal Policy at Brac University Panel

Dhaka, Bangladesh — July 15, 2025
Brac University recently hosted a high-level panel discussion titled “Economic Resilience of Bangladesh: Role of Fiscal Policy”, focusing on the country’s fiscal challenges, public expenditure, and the path to sustainable economic growth. The event, held at the university’s Merul Badda campus, was organized by the Department of Economics and Social Sciences (ESS).

Key Highlights from the Fiscal Policy Panel

The session featured leading voices in Bangladesh’s economic landscape:

  • Professor Mustafizur Rahman, Distinguished Fellow at the Centre for Policy Dialogue (CPD)
  • Mohammad Nurul Amin, Chairman of Global Islami Bank PLC
  • Tahera Ahsan, Executive Director, Japan-Bangladesh Chamber of Commerce and Industry

Public Spending and Inflation

Professor Mustafizur Rahman emphasized the disconnect between fiscal capacity and poverty reduction.

“Inflation has slashed purchasing power by 30% in just three years, yet Bangladesh’s public expenditure remains at 13% of GDP—well below the South Asian average of 20%,” he noted.

He also highlighted the inefficiencies in social safety net programs, pointing out that 45% of the allocation goes to areas like agriculture subsidies and pensions.

“Bangladesh must evolve from fragmented safety nets to a comprehensive social security system,” Rahman urged.

Banking Sector Risks

Mohammad Nurul Amin addressed the rising crisis in the banking and financial sector.

“Non-performing loans (NPLs) have reached Tk 7 lakh crore—about 40% of total loans—against Tk 19 lakh crore in total deposits,” he said.
He predicted that struggling banks may face mergers or acquisitions as part of systemic reform.

Private Sector and Government Borrowing

Tahera Ahsan discussed the impact of government borrowing on the private sector’s access to credit.

“When the government raises funds through instruments like bonds, it tightens liquidity for businesses,” she said.

She added that the 2025–26 budget offers limited incentives for private sector growth.

“The current priority is not expansion but macroeconomic stabilization,” she explained.

Bangladesh’s Path Forward: LDC Graduation and Fiscal Strategy

As Bangladesh prepares for LDC graduation, the panel stressed the importance of inclusive, transparent, and fiscally responsible policies to boost resilience and navigate global economic uncertainties.

North South University Architecture Department Hosts “Gram Bangla” Themed Fresher-Farewell Event

NSU Architecture Department
NSU Architecture Department

Dhaka, Bangladesh – July 13, 2025 — The Department of Architecture at North South University (NSU) hosted a memorable event celebrating both new and outgoing students through a unique cultural theme: “Gram Bangla” (Village Bengal). Held at the department’s Sky Gallery, the function reflected NSU’s commitment to blending architectural education with cultural heritage.

The event began at 3 PM and welcomed new architecture students while bidding farewell to the recent graduates of the department. Faculty members, freshers, alumni, and graduating students came together in a vibrant gathering that honored the traditions of rural Bengal.

A Tribute to Rural Bengali Culture

Themed “Village Bangla,” the venue was beautifully decorated with bamboo installations, earthen tones, rural motifs, and architectural models that recreated the charm of a traditional Bengali village. The immersive setting showcased how architecture can celebrate regional identity while encouraging creative thinking.

Welcoming Freshers and Honoring Graduates

The program began with an introductory session for the freshers, offering them insight into NSU’s creative academic environment and the diverse scope of architectural study.

Later, the outgoing students were felicitated in an emotional segment where Assistant Professor Shahriar Iqbal Raj, Chairperson of the department, along with other faculty members, presented them with certificates and mementos. Graduates were praised for their perseverance, creativity, and lasting contributions to the department.

Architecture Rooted in Culture

Faculty members emphasized that “Gram Bangla” was more than a visual theme—it was a pedagogical approach to link architecture, culture, and identity. The initiative encouraged students to explore how modern architectural design can stay connected to local traditions and vernacular aesthetics.

A Vision for the Future

The event served as a reflective and joyous occasion—celebrating both beginnings and farewells. It echoed the vision of the NSU Department of Architecture: to nurture culturally grounded, socially conscious, and creatively driven architects prepared for a global future.
