    UCD is Ireland's University of first choice, leading in first-preference applications in Ireland year after year; as well as being the university of first choice for international students coming to Ireland. The University attracts top students: some 1,525 of the 1st year entrants in 2014 achieved 500 Leaving Certificate points – just 10% of all Leaving Cert students attain these results. The first year retention rate is 98% and over half of UCD undergraduates progress to graduate studies.
    UCD is globally recognised for its excellence in teaching and learning – 11 subjects are ranked in the top 100 in the world out of 42 subjects (QS World University Ranking by Subject 2016) and the University is first in Ireland in 12 subjects.

    二、都柏林大學(xué)的歷史
    University College Dublin has its origins in the mid-nineteenth century under the leadership of the renowned educationalist John Henry Cardinal Newman. Since its foundation in 1854, the University has flourished and made a unique and substantial contribution to the creation of modern Ireland, based on successful engagement with Irish society on every level and across every sphere of activity.
    Originally known as the Catholic University of Ireland and subsequently as the Royal University, the university became UCD in 1908 and a constituent college of the National University of Ireland (NUI). In 1997, UCD became an autonomous university within the loose federal structure of the NUI and UCD students are awarded degrees of the National University of Ireland.
    都柏林大學(xué)的歷史可追溯到19世紀(jì)中期，在最初的時候由著名教育家兼紅衣主教約翰·亨利·紐曼領(lǐng)導(dǎo)。自1854年成立以來，都柏林大學(xué)取得了繁榮，對現(xiàn)代愛爾蘭的誕生做出了獨特而重大的貢獻。這要歸功于都柏林大學(xué)在各個層面和各種活動中對愛爾蘭社會成功參與。
    都柏林大學(xué)最初名為愛爾蘭天主教大學(xué)，后稱皇家大學(xué)。1908年成為都柏林大學(xué)學(xué)院，當(dāng)時是愛爾蘭國立大學(xué)的一個學(xué)院。1997年，都柏林大學(xué)學(xué)院升格為自治大學(xué)，但仍處于愛爾蘭國立大學(xué)松散聯(lián)邦結(jié)構(gòu)中，其學(xué)生所獲學(xué)位也由愛爾蘭國立大學(xué)授予。
    The beginning
    The Catholic University opened its doors on the feast of St Malachy, 3 November 1854. On that day the names of seventeen students were entered on the register; the first name entered was that of Daniel O'Connell, grandson of the Liberator. The following Sunday, to a grand total of four officers and fifteen students, Newman gave an address entitled 'What are we here for?'
    The early students
    Of the eight original students in Newman's own home, two were Irish, two English, two Scottish and two French.
    成立初期
    天主教大學(xué)開放于1854年11月3日圣麥拉奇的宴席。當(dāng)天注冊了17名學(xué)生。第一個注冊的學(xué)生名叫丹尼爾康乃爾，他是自由派一名成員的孫子。在接下來的星期日，在4位官員和14名學(xué)生的陪同下，約翰·亨利·紐曼做了題為“我們在此為何”的演講。
    早期學(xué)生
    在紐曼最初的八名學(xué)生中，兩名是愛爾蘭學(xué)生，兩名是英國學(xué)生，兩名是蘇格蘭學(xué)生，另有兩名是法國學(xué)生。
