The world's leading and most prestigious MBA and MBM accreditation, which maintains high standards and fosters innovation in global postgraduate management education. AMBA accredits MBA, DBA and MBM degree programmes from the top 2% of business schools in over five continents.

Joint AMBA & BGA accreditation

Available only to schools who already hold AMBA accreditation, AMBA & BGA 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.
