The Irish Independent reports on the recently published Top 200 world universities, published by the Times Higher Education Suppplement.
TCD retains its spot as top Irish university, but sees its raking rise to 12th in Europe and 53rd in the world. UCD breaks into top 200 for the first time, at 177.
UCD has also improved its ranking from 219 last year to 177 this year, while UCC leaped 100 places to 286th and DCU jumped from 441 to 300th place.
There were smaller rises for the University of Limerick and DIT, but the National University of Ireland Maynooth and the University of Ulster failed to make the cut of the top 500 in the world.
Overall, a very encouraging performance by Irish academic institutions, and one which reflects the investment being made by SFI and other agencies.
