Six institutes of technology well placed in world ranking of colleges

Six institutes of technology have been well placed in a world ranking of top third-level science and technology colleges.

They have been given top scores under a range of headings seeking to measure colleges under broad headings of teaching and learning, research, knowledge transfer and international orientation.

The U-Multirank scheme is a European Commission initiative aimed at helping to identify individual colleges’ strengths and weakness, rather than focusing on ordered rankings.
