Who we are

We are the Association of MBAs & Business Graduates Association (AMBA & BGA), a London-based international membership and quality assurance body for world-leading and high-potential business schools, amassing more than 50 years of experience since our founding in 1967.

AMBA is the leading impartial authority on MBA education, specifically offering MBA portfolio accreditation for leading business schools, while BGA is a whole-school membership and accreditation body, which stresses the importance of positive impact and responsible management practices while supporting innovation and differentiation.

Today, the AMBA & BGA network comprises more than 460 international business schools, collectively.

History & heritage

In London, on 24 November 1967, eight UK-based business school graduates (who had studied at the top Ivy League universities in the US) decided to launch the Business Graduates Association. Its mission was to improve the quality and number of graduate business schools, encourage employers to recruit business graduates, and promote the importance of business education.
