UCD现在在学生满意度、学位成绩和人员配备水平等关键领域都位居爱尔兰第一。另外，我们在毕业生就业前景和升学率方面于众多强者中脱颖而出，被 The Sunay Times "GOOD UNIVERSITY GUIDE" 评为2020年最佳大学。
The Sunay Times "GOOD UNIVERSITY GUIDE" 是基于每年的最新数据，对英国134所大学进行排名，是英国高等教育的综合评估，也是学生与家长选择理想院校的重要参考。
根据 The Sunay Times 对2018年爱尔兰学生参与度调查（ISSE）的九个部分的分析，UCD在爱尔兰排名第一，高于所有其他大学。而学生满意度是The Sunay Times "GOOD UNIVERSITY GUIDE" 的学术排名中的八个指标之一。
UCD之所以有着较高的学生满意度，有一部分是因为一项同伴辅导计划，该计划减轻了新本科生升入第三等级的难度，而UCD的校内住宿团队会为学生们免费举办烹饪课和瑜伽课等活动，同时，所有学生都可以使用在线认知行为疗法，帮助他们面对、克服相关压力，焦虑以及抑郁症状。
UCD以学生为中心的教学方法也得到了证明：UCD毕业生失业率仅为3％，此比例高居大学界内第二名；75%的毕业生以较高成绩或优异成绩毕业。
这些都是使得UCD如此与众不同的原因。

“University College Dublin makes a compelling case to thir level applicants with its relentless focus on the stuent experience. Heavy investment in facilities such as the newly-opene UCD Moore Centre for Business an the soon-to-open stuent village catch the eye, but it is the work behin the scenes to improve stuent life – particularly pastoral care – that is just as important in such a large university,” sai Alastair McCall, Eitor of The Sunay Times Goo University Guie.

Stuent satisfaction is one of eight areas of thir level performance inclue in The Sunay Times Goo University Guie’s acaemic ranking.
UCD’s high levels of stuent satisfaction are explaine in part by a peer mentoring programme which eases the transition to thir level for new unergrauates, with UCD’s on-campus accommoation team running events such as cookery classes an yoga sessions for free.
