The Leiden world university rankings are out. We’re ranked at 48, up from 63 last year, and have therefore moved into the top 50 in the world in this ranking. UCD is ranked 281, UCC 181. Which is nice…but dont get too carried away.
The Leiden methodology uses research and collaboration metrics only – no ‘reputation’ surveys and no attempt at those problematic/questionable ‘teaching’ metrics used by the THE . So, its like all of these, partial and incomplete. But in so far as it goes it is very solid The ranking is presented based on research impact, but views by other indicators are also available.
