Here is how Ireland has performed in the rankings for best universities in Europe

NUI Galway has been ranked in the Top 200 Best Universities In Europe.

NUIG is ranked 134th in The Times Higher Education World University Rankings for Best Universities in Europe 2016.

Institutions are measured on their teaching environment, research environment, research, industry income and international outlook.

The university is one place above The Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, while the highest ranked university in Ireland is Trinity College in Dublin at 78.

UCD is 10 places below Trinity at 88, UCC is at 186 and NUI Maynooth completes the Republic of Ireland's entries at 193.

Queen's University in Belfast is placed at 106.

The Republic of Ireland is described by the World University Rankings as "punching above its weight" and "a strong performer" along with Denmark and Switzerland, given all three countries are smaller nation sizes per head of population.
