The KBS is a member of a number of key international organisations including the European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD) and the European Institute for Advanced Studies in Management (EIASM) .  The School also signed up in 2008 for the UN's initiative on responsible management education - Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME), and was the first Irish Business School to do so.

The BBS (and BBS with French, German or Japanese) and the MBS in Human Resource Management currently hold EPAS accreditation. 

EPAS is an international programme accreditation system operated by EFMD. It aims to evaluate the quality of any business and/or management degree programme that has an international perspective and, where of an appropriately high quality, to accredit it.
