NO IRISH UNIVERSITY has made the prestigious list of the top 100 most powerful university brands in the world.
The Times Higher Education World Reputation Rankings is topped by Harvard University in the United States, followed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Stanford University, the University of Cambridge and the University of Oxford round out the top five on the list.
Compilers say the list, which is dominated by American and British universities, is definitive but also “based no nothing more than subjective judgement”.
The list is compiled by senior and published academics, who are described as “the people best placed to know the most about excellence in our universities”. More than 10,000 academics were asked to name the best institutions in their fields of expertise.
Princeton, Yale, and the California Institute of Technology also make the top ten.
The highest-ranking university outside of Britain and America to make the list is the University of Tokyo at number eleven.
Of the 100 universities on the list, 46 are in the US while 10 are in the UK and 6 are in Germany.
“A university’s reputation for academic excellence is absolutely vital to its success,” said Times Higher Education rankings editor Phil Baty. “While reputation is based on subjective opinion, in this case it is the informed, expert opinion of those in the know: experienced scholars from around the world”.
The list is a spin-off of the world university rankings. In the most recently rankings published in October, Trinity College Dublin made 129th on the list while University College Dublin climbed to 161st on the Times Higher Education World University Rankings.

AA have raised their fart-alert level to ‘brown’. Please people, let’s be careful out there.
Swear they were going into the Amazon, South Dublin petals
As regards the farts “better out than in”. I would rather someone fart than someone shitting themselves. Enjoy the picnic people keep it real or fake whatever way you normally act.
It doesn’t have to be one or the other, you can actually just hold in a fart for a while without sh*tting yourself as a consequence. Women have been doing it successfully for generations
I can’t wait for it, last hurrah of the festival season. Bye bye Summer, you were somewhat sound this year ☀️
Perhaps this article should be read in conjunction with the earlier article on STI’s and childbearing. The failure rate for contraception is about four times higher for teenagers than for the rest of the population. Teenagers are just as good and as careful at using contraceptives as they are at tidying their bedrooms.
The fact that those promoting contraceptives, are the same people promoting abortion, is just coincidental.
The proof of problems is in the earlier article, which for some reason had no EP in the title. There is no such thing as a surprise pregnancy, having sex makes babies. Having casual sex leads to SDI’s and babies. There is no guaranteed “protection”.
Enjoy the fun of the fair.
Paddy teenager’s are banned from EP, it’s 18 and upwards and usually a pretty good crowd too none of the usual clientèle of that awful oxygen so in fairness I don’t think it’s good to preach to adults since I think they have a fair idea of what to do :)
Wynner, there’s 8,000 extra people on top of last years attendance going this year. I’m sure some of the Oxygen heads will be there.
Well ya know it’s going to piss rain so don’t drop your electric picnic x
I’m going, I reckon ill survive without an SPF 20+
Thanks all the same
Sunburn and dehydration? I’d say hypothermia and pneumonia might be more likely! As for protection, I might suggest a good strong umbrella and a raincoat.
have your say
