2025 Irish University Ranking New
Introduction
What are the most popular Colleges and Universities in Ireland? uniRank answers this question by publishing the 2025 Irish University Ranking of 23 Irish higher-education institutions meeting the following uniRank selection criteria:
- being chartered, licensed or accredited by the appropriate higher education-related organization in Ireland
- offering at least three-year bachelor's degrees or postgraduate master's or doctoral degrees
- delivering courses predominantly in a traditional, non-distance education format
uniRank aims to provide a non-academic League Table of the top Irish Universities and Colleges based on valid, unbiased and non-influenceable web metrics provided by independent web intelligence sources rather than data submitted by the Universities themselves.
