The Business Graduates Association (BGA), part of AMBA & BGA, is a London- based international membership and quality assurance body for world- leading and high- potential business schools, which can trace its roots back to its founding in 1967. BGA schools share their commitment to responsible management practices, lifelong learning, and delivering positive impact for business school stakeholders.
BGA aims to ensure that business schools innovate and venture beyond conventional means of teaching; as such, the impact and results of that teaching are stressed in our quality assurance process.
BGA’s sister brand, the Association of MBAs (AMBA), is the leading impartial authority on MBA education, specifically offering MBA portfolio accreditation for leading Business Schools. Today, the AMBA & BGA network comprises more than 460 international Business Schools, collectively.
A membership designed to support, develop and enhance business schools around the world.
A non-prescriptive, business school accreditation that is focused on responsible management, positive impact and lifelong learning.
Quality assurance services, such as validation and accreditation, delivered to business schools and similar institutions, aimed at continuous improvement and positive, measurable impact to increase a business school’s credibility and influence.

Student & graduate membership, which includes professional development tools, global networking events, exclusive access to student and graduate-focused Business Impact articles and much more.

The impact of BGA membership reaches far and wide. Business schools can become future pioneers for sustainable business education in responsible management, positive impact and lifelong learning.
While many accreditation bodies are prescriptive in nature, BGA focuses instead on positive impact. This leads to a more consultative process, where schools can improve in areas such as economic significance, improved stakeholder management and strategic alignment, a desirable image, and the path towards internationalisation.
