University College Cork’s Irish Management Institute (IMI) and Cork University Business School (CUBS) have once again demonstrated their commitment to excellence, ascending the ranks of the prestigious global FT Rankings for custom executive education.
Positioned at an impressive 60th, IMI/CUBS has solidified its status as the sole representative from Ireland, outshining competitors on a global scale.
The rankings, which encompass a wide range of criteria, including faculty quality, value for money, programme design, and learning outcomes, reaffirm IMI/CUBS as an unparalleled provider of executive education. The institutions have proven their dedication to delivering world-class faculty expertise, cutting-edge research, and a laser focus on tangible learning outcomes that translate into a significant return on investment for their clients.
Welcoming the rankings announcement, Professor John O’Halloran, UCC President, said: “In an increasingly competitive global executive education environment, this improved ranking is a testament to the innovation and commitment of IMI and CUBS’ graduates, students, faculty and staff. We are proud of this international recognition for our business education and research which aims to shape leaders for a sustainable and equitable future.”
The recognition comes on the heels of the recently published OECD report, "Ireland's Skills Strategy Assessment and Recommendations." The report specifically commended the collaborative initiative between Enterprise Ireland and IMI, recognising its impact in helping ‘employers identify and address their skill needs effectively’.
Shane O'Sullivan, Interim CEO at IMI, expressed his delight in the rankings, stating, "We are immensely proud to be the only Irish provider in this esteemed category. Our accreditations place us among the top 2% globally for executive education. Companies, both domestically and internationally, trust IMI to significantly enhance their growth outcomes, establishing us as the preferred business partner."
