Irish colleges among top 10% in ranking

An EU-led ranking system shows strong performances by some Irish colleges in a project that aims to give students more comprehensive information than university league tables.

The U-Multirank project allows students, parents, and policymakers to compare almost 900 third-level institutions under 30 indicators.

For each of these indicators, colleges were awarded one of five grades: A (very good), B (good), C (average), D (below average), and E (weak).
