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。
