About the Scholarship Provider:
University College Dublin was one of the first European institutions to confer an MBA in 1964. With a faculty of around 100, a student body of around 1,400, and an alumni network of almost 98,000, UCD Smurfit School is one of the few institutions in the world to hold triple international accreditation (US – AACSB, European – EQUIS, and UK – AMBA). Both The Economist and The Financial Times, two of Europe’s most illustrious periodicals, consistently score this university’s business programs highly. The School is a part of both CEMS (Consortium of European Management Schools) and GNAM (Global Network for Advanced Management)
We have held the top spot for business schools in Ireland among EQUIS, AMBA, and AACSB for over 20 years. After more than a decade of success, The Economist has placed our full-time MBA program No. 67 in the world for 2021. We are the only Irish institution affiliated with both the Council for European Management Schools (CEMS) and the Global Network for Advanced Management (GNAM), both of which rank us among the top 1% of business schools worldwide.
