The Kemmy Business School (KBS) at University of Limerick has been recognised as one of the world's top business schools, after achieving triple accreditation.
This week, the KBS was accredited by the EFMD Global quality system (EQUIS), adding to its existing international accreditations from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) and the Association of MBAs (AMBA).
The triple accreditation from the three centres of business and academic excellence now place the KBS within the top 1% of business schools in the world.
The EQUIS award places a premium on creating an effective learning environment that encourages students to acquire management skills, whilst also instilling a sense of global responsibility.
"We are immensely proud of becoming a triple accredited business school, which is testament to our continued focus on academic excellence and innovation," said Professor Finbarr Murphy, Dean of the Kemmy Business School.
"It clearly illustrates the strong calibre of our business graduates, our connections to industry, and our global outlook," he added.
The KBS is the only business school to achieve the accolade outside of Dublin and the third Irish business school to be triple accredited alongside the Smurfit Business School in UCD and the Trinity Business School in TCD.
"Achieving triple accreditation is really the top of the quality standard bar for business schools worldwide," said UL President Professor Kerstin Mey.
"We now join a group of elite business schools committed to delivering excellence in business education, research and impact," she added.
The business school at UL now caters for over 3,000 students, and over 100 academic faculty and staff.
