DCU climbs in World Top 50 Young Universities League Table

Dublin City University has once again been ranked among the World’s top 50 universities in a new league table of the world’s young universities (less than 50 years old).  The only university on the island of Ireland to be featured, DCU has risen from 46th to 40th place in the influential QS World University Rankings which list the next generation of leading universities, all established since 1963. 

Professor Brian MacCraith, President of DCU has welcomed the publication of the new league table,

“DCU’s inclusion, for the second year running, in the QS Top 50 Under 50 confirms its place in the vanguard of young, dynamic universities re-imagining the future of third-level education.  This year-on-year improvement in DCU’s rankings has resulted from an institution-wide commitment to delivering excellence in teaching, research and innovation.  This is a very welcome endorsement of our growing reputation on the world stage, despite a very challenging national economic environment.”

Universities are scored on academic reputation, employer reputation, faculty-student ratio, publications per faculty, citations per paper, the proportion of international faculty and international students, inbound exchange students and outbound exchange students.
