University College Cork has become Ireland’s first five star university.
The QS World Rankings place the college at 181 – compared to its 386th position in 2006.
However, the state’s other universities have continued to slide down the world rankings in a trend which will concern Government, business and heads of colleges.
NUI Galway suffers the most dramatic fall, down 66 places to 298 TCD drops down 13 places to 65 and UCD is down 20 places from 114 to 134.
QS only gives detailed scores for its top 300 ranked universities so therefore excludes UL DIT and DCU among others.
