Ranking Notes

National College of Ireland is not usually positioned like large public universities in major global league tables such as QS World University Rankings or Times Higher Education World University Rankings. Students should therefore judge NCI by course fit, location, fees, work placement options, career support, visa eligibility and graduate plans.

For many international students, NCI's strongest value is its Dublin IFSC location and its practical focus on business, computing and employability rather than a global ranking number.
