New Criteria for accreditation AMBA accreditation
AMBA has made key changes for the period 2016-2021. The new criteria have been designed to clearly identify the distinctive nature of each degree type (MBA, MBM & DBA), and to differentiate them. This has been achieved by providing a definition, core attributes (outcomes) and guiding principles for each programme. The structure of the criteria themselves have been re-adjusted to more naturally follow the flow of the MBA life cycle, starting with the foundation blocks of the Institution and Faculty, moving into Programme Design, Student Recruitment, Graduate Attributes, Curriculum, Assessment, Delivery, and ending with Impact and Outcomes. visit accreditation page for new Criteria
Business Schools are looking forward to a new era of education technology, having made a success of online learning in 2020, new research from AMBA & BGA in association with Barco, reveals.
BGA ACCREDITATION
BGA utilises a peer-review quality assurance process that assesses the full Business School or institution, examining a range of business programmes, including certificate and online courses. The criteria are based on the three themes of positive impact, responsible management, and lifelong learning. Positive Impact BGA accreditation requires institutions to measure their impact on their stakeholders utilising
BGA’s Continuous Impact Model (CIM). The CIM is designed to offer Business Schools the ability to pinpoint areas of improvement and measure their change in impact over time, through the modification of inputs.
Responsible Management At the heart of BGA accreditation are the concepts of responsible management and sustainability. To achieve accreditation, Business Schools must evidence their commitment to the United Nations 17 Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs) through teaching and implementation. Schools are expected to integrate the development of soft skills including ethics and transparency.
Lifelong Learning BGA encourages Business Schools to take a forward-looking approach to education as re-skilling is becoming ever more important by offering opportunities for people of all ages to learn and stay relevant in the workforce.
