Read moreAccreditation is at the heart of AMBA & BGA’s commitment to developing standards in global business education and the continued development of tomorrow’s brightest business leaders.
We accredit MBA, DBA and MBM programmes at the top 2% of business schools in over 80 countries via AMBA's accreditation offering. Our rigorous assessment criteria ensure that only the highest calibre programmes which demonstrate the best standards in teaching, curriculum, and student interaction achieve AMBA accreditation.
BGA accreditation is a highly consultative and rigorous whole-school accreditation with a focus on positive impact, responsible management and lifelong learning. This gold-standard quality mark is awarded to institutions that can clearly demonstrate value creation and an increasing impact on their students and communities over a measurable period.
Our business school accreditations are international in scope and reach. We work with senior academics at top educational institutions around the world to continuously update our accreditation principles and maintain our unique and in-depth consultative approach.
Validation is a less strenuous and cost-effective quality assurance designed to assess business schools against BGA’s Nine Charter Principles. These include graduate achievements and employability, good governance and continuous improvement measures. Validation is recommended for business schools that do not currently possess an international accreditation.
Key benefits include:
BGA accreditation is a non-prescriptive and consultative whole-school accreditation.
It is designed to focus on the elements of positive impact, responsible management and lifelong learning and encourages business schools to differentiate and focus on their key strategic objectives and the resulting impact on key stakeholders. The accreditation also emphasises alignment with three of the seventeen UN Sustainable Development Goals, where schools must demonstrate commitment and achievements.
BGA accreditation is non-prescriptive, meaning that any business school regardless of size and focus can achieve accreditation, provided that they showcase positive impact and continuous improvement. The accreditation is highly consultative, where schools can expect to receive feedback on the school’s strategy, programme curriculum, alumni interactions, research and much more.
Key benefits:
Joint accreditation is a highly consultative quality assurance that emphasises the importance of an institution’s overall impact and value creation for students, employers, and communities. It maintains the same level of rigour found in AMBA’s accreditation of post-graduate business programmes, while expanding the assessment to cover additional programmes and criteria. Achievement of joint accreditation allows schools to demonstrate the quality of their MBA, impact on stakeholders, and alignment to responsible management principles.
