15/3/16: Times Higher Education Europe Rankings: Not Too Kind for Ireland

Jon Blogosphere, Education, Market Commentary

Times Higher education 2016 rankings for European Universities, published recently here are an interesting read.
We have:
TCD at 78th place, below TU Dresden, U of Liverpool, and a bunch of other not too ‘premier league’ schools. Average showing, given it is 78th across Europe. UCD in 88th place. Below Eidhoven UofTech, U of Konstanz, U of Barcelona et al. Good news, it is close to TCD, creating something of a cluster. Bad news is: no Irish Uni in top50 for Europe. Third highest ranked school in Ireland is apparently NUI Galway (edging out UC Cork) which is ranked somewhere between 131st and 140th places. Not in top100, thus, despite the fact these rankings are for Europe alone.
