UCD Michael Smurfit Graduate Business School has been ranked 29th in the prestigious Financial Times European Business Schools 2016 rankings published today.
The School has jumped seven places from last year’s 36th place as it continues to focus on achieving its stated aim of becoming a Top 50 Global Business School. UCD Smurfit School is the only Irish Business School ranked among the elite graduate business schools listed in this Financial Times ranking.
This ranking is made up of a composite of the following FT rankings - Full Time MBA Ranking, Executive MBA Ranking, Master in Management (MiM) Ranking and Executive Education Open and Customised Ranking.
Today’s acknowledgement by the Financial Times is the latest external independent validation the School has obtained this year. In September, the School’s full-time MSc in International Management (MiM) was ranked 22nd in the world in the 2016 Financial Times Global Masters in Management Ranking.
UCD College of Business remains the only business school in Ireland (and one of less than 75 worldwide) to hold the accreditation from the three leading international accrediting bodies: EQUIS (Europe), AACSB (US) and AMBA (UK).
Dean of UCD College of Business, Professor Ciarán Ó hÓgartaigh said, "In October of this year, UCD College of Business launched an ambitious strategy to become a Top 50 Global Business School within five years. Today’s improved ranking shows we continue to improve our standing in prestigious, independent and respected rankings which signals continued progress towards this goal."
