And, over the past five years, we have undertaken an in-depth programme of curriculum reform, expansion of student services, research support and global engagement.<\/p>\n<p>Behind the statistics, set out below, is a story of remarkable progress.<\/p>\n<p>With 14 subject areas in the Top 100 and six in the Top 50 in the QS world university rankings, the reach and impact&nbsp; of our faculty&nbsp; is growing. Additionally, last year we had our most successful year ever, achieving \u20ac122m in externally funded research awards.<\/p>\n<p>To improve our educational and student experience, we undertook a University-wide consultation, introduced multi-disciplinary \u201cdiscovery\u201d electives, reformed the traditional BA into a suite of Arts &amp; Humanities and Social Sciences pathways and restructured and expanded supports in student advising, health and counselling services.<\/p>\n<p>I have placed a specific emphasis on restoring an acceptable student faculty ratio and am committed to a ratio of 16:1.<\/p>\n<p>I am hugely proud of the expansion in our engagement with you, our alumni. Between our alumni chapters, our reunions and events organised by our alumni relations team, there are now over 160 events annually&nbsp; \u2013 up from circa 40 five years ago. The annual UCD Festival now attracts 20,000 visitors and is the highlight of the alumni calendar. The opening of the UCD University Club this summer gives you a comfortable place on campus to meet fellow graduates and to engage&nbsp; with&nbsp; faculty and staff who are always delighted to welcome alumni back to Belfield.<\/p>\n<p>As we drive forward as Ireland\u2019s Global University, we now have a global centre in New York, with further offices in Chicago and Los Angeles, in Beijing, New Delhi, Kuala Lumpur and&nbsp; Dubai. We have developed relationships with prestige partner universities and work with government agencies, partners and alumni to deliver on our mission.<\/p>\n<p>As we prepare our strategy for the coming five years I want to thank the UCD community for your support and look forward to sharing our journey with you.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-576 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/alumni.ucd.ie\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/five-years-of-remarkable-progress.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1952\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alumni.ucd.ie\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/five-years-of-remarkable-progress.jpg 1952w, https:\/\/alumni.ucd.ie\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/five-years-of-remarkable-progress-768x354.jpg 768w, https:\/\/alumni.ucd.ie\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/five-years-of-remarkable-progress-1024x472.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1952px) 100vw, 1952px\" \/><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Litir Chuig Alumni<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Dearcadh Uachtar\u00e1n UCD, An tOllamh Andrew J Deeks, faoin dul chun cinn iontach a rinne an Ollscoil le c\u00faig bliana anuas<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I SAMHAIN 2014, sa ch\u00e9ad bhliain agam mar Uachtar\u00e1n ar an gCol\u00e1iste&nbsp; Ollscoile, Baile \u00c1tha Cliath, sheol m\u00e9 Strait\u00e9is UCD 2015-2020 agus leag m\u00e9 s\u00edos \u00e1r bpr\u00edomhsprioc: \u201cOllscoil Dhomhanda na h\u00c9ireann\u201d a dh\u00e9anamh de UCD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is cuid fh\u00edorth\u00e1bhachtach d\u00e1r bhf\u00eds sa strait\u00e9is seo go mbeidh an t-eolas, na scileanna, an taith\u00ed agus an meon ag \u00e1r gc\u00e9imithe chun go n-\u00e9ireoidh leo sa l\u00e1&nbsp;&nbsp; at\u00e1 inniu ann agus amach anseo in \u00c9irinn agus ar fud an domhain.
