Introduction

What are the oldest Universities in Ireland? uniRank answers this question by publishing a list of 25 Irish Universities sorted by year of foundation and meeting the following uniRank selection criteria:

  • being chartered, licensed or accredited by the appropriate Irish higher education-related organization
  • offering at least three-year bachelor's degrees or postgraduate master's or doctoral degrees
  • delivering courses predominantly in a traditional, non-distance education format

uniRank aims to highlight which Irish Universities have the longest history and tradition and whether this correlates to their uniRank University Ranking.
