The QS EMBA Rankings evaluate performance across five key indicator groups. UCD Smurfit School received the strongest scores in the Career Outcomes category achieving a ranking of 57th globally and in Employer Reputation ranking 61st globally.
QS measures Career Outcomes of students by taking the average salary increase, pre to post programme, and the percent of the class receiving promotions within 12 months of graduating. Employer Reputation is based on the annual QS Employer Reputation survey, which is designed to evaluate the perceptions of global employers on which institutions are providing the most job-ready graduates.
The QS EMBA Ranking is followed by the recent announcement that University College Dublin rose 45 places to be ranked 126th in the world in the latest QS World University Rankings. The sharp increase for 2025 marks the second year in a row of upward movement for UCD in these rankings.
The QS EMBA Rankings demonstrate the consistent international standing of UCD Smurfit School’s Executive MBA programme and places the School within an elite group of global business educators.
