'Under-investment' blamed as Irish colleges slip in global ratings

Three of Ireland’s eight universities have slipped again in a global ranking system that sees Trinity College Dublin (TCD) continue its descent out of the global top 100.

While TCD has retained its status as Ireland’s strongest university in the latest QS World University Rankings, it is now ranked at 108th globally, down from 104th in 2019 and 88th in 2018.
