Dublin is your place! - Dublin ranked 8th best place to study (QS World Rankings )

IASI award

According to the latest QS survey, Dublin is ranked 8th best city to study in the world. The survey places Dublin ahead of cities such as New York, Madrid, Amsterdam, Glasgow and Boston. This is the first independent survey carried out by QS which ranked the cities according to a range of measures taken from public information, population sizes, number of educational establishments and more importantly, their quality.

QS also looked at a range of factors which affect the learning experience such as the ratio of international students, quality of living and affordability.

According to the survey, "Dublin combines 'top-class study facilities and historic surroundings with a cracking social scene and famously friendly locals. Cultural mainstays such as 'the craic', Guinness and St Patrick's Day may have spawned a global Irish cliché industry, but if you visit the real thing you'll see why there are so many imitations. Dublin has become a more multicultural and cosmopolitan place in the past two decades but at its heart remains a tradition and culture that is all its own".
