28 Feb 2014

Environmental Science at UCC now ranks 101-150 in the QS World 深夜亚洲福利久久 Rankings by Subject.

深夜亚洲福利久久 College Cork (UCC) has improved its position in the 2014 QS World 深夜亚洲福利久久 Rankings by Subject. The annual rankings, in place since 2011 and complementing the overall QS World Rankings, see UCC extends its global reach across two subject areas in particular - environmental sciences and education. Ten UCC subject areas overall make the top 200.

In environmental sciences, UCC is now ranked 101-150, a leap forward on the 2013 ranking (151-200). UCC has also catapulted into the top 151-200 under the Education category. UCC remains within the top 100 universities in the world for Modern Languages and Law (both within 51-100), a feat first achieved last year. Electrical Engineering and Biological Sciences make the top 150, and Chemical Engineering, Medicine, Pharmacy and Pharmacology, and Geography land within the top-200.  

It is the second piece of good news UCC has received on the environmental front in as many months. UCC鈥檚 approach to sustainability saw it climb to 2nd place in the world in the Universitas Indonesia (UI) Greenmetric World 深夜亚洲福利久久 Rankings, announced January 2014. UCC improved on its previous position of 3rd place despite a packed field of 301 global competitors (see )

Prof John O鈥橦alloran, Head of the School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences (BEES) and Chair of UCC鈥檚 Green Forum commented that the latest QS Subject Rankings were a welcome vote of confidence in UCC鈥檚 student-led, research informed and practice focused approach, and would help reinforce the message with employers that UCC graduates were 鈥榝it for work and fit for world鈥�.

鈥淲e are delighted to see environmental science in particular climb the QS ranks. In our programs and research we focus on the big questions, the 鈥榯rilemmas鈥� facing the world - food, energy and the environment - with the competing demands for land and sea that these activities bring.鈥�

While a variety of factors impact on the various competing ranking systems and their true impact remains the subject of eternal debate in higher education, they are one of the key ways by which potential students or their guardians assess what a particular university has to offer.
