The UCD Michael Smurfit Graduate Business School is the business school of University College Dublin, located in Blackrock in Dublin, Republic of Ireland, on the site of the former Carysfort College, a teacher training college.
It is the only business school in Ireland and one of a small group of schools worldwide to hold the ‘triple crown’ of accreditation from the three centres of business and academic excellence. These accreditations benchmark it against the best in the world and position UCD Smurfit School on the global map. Attaining these accreditations requires them to continually evaluate and enhance their own courses and programmes.
The Smurfit School is a member institution of the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business International (AACSB), the European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS), the quality improvement system administered by the European Foundation for Management Development, and the Association of MBAs. The school is also a member of the Global Alliance in Management Education, an alliance of 26 academic institutions and over 50 leading multinational corporations.
The Economist Intelligence Unit ranked the full-time MBA programme 31st (in 2010) and 38 (in 2011 ) in the world and the only Irish business school to gain a place in the rankings of the "top 100" schools. The Financial Times ranked the school in the world's top 100 full-time MBA programs. The newspaper ranked the Smurfit School's executive MBA programme 54th in the world and 20th in Europe.
