Trinity falls over 40 places in university rankings

The latest Times Higher Education Rankings, published this evening, places TCD at 164th place. Last year the university was ranked 120th worldwide.

The university has called for what it calls a "national strategy for university rankings", to reverse the slide in tables witnessed in many Irish universities over the past decade. TCD has warned that a similar fall next year would mean that no university in Ireland would be ranked in the top 200 by Times Higher Education.They measure and compare the performance of institutions across the globe, taking into account teaching, research, international outlook, citations, and industry income.

In 2015, TCD fell from 138th to 160th place. The following year the university was removed from that year's tables at the last minute when an error in the data it had submitted was discovered. There has been no marked change in the rankings of some of Ireland's other universities and colleges.
