Nazarbayev University Graduate School of Business, Kazakhstan
‘The Nazarbayev University Graduate School of Business is proud to be a BGA and AMBA accredited business school. The BGA membership has allowed our school to connect with a wider network of programs regionally and globally, and our joint accreditation ensures our school maintains excellent standards, especially in a less recognized region like Kazakhstan. Attending BGA and AMBA conferences and workshops also provides opportunities for our faculty and staff to develop their professional knowledge, share our expertise and experiences, and expand our professional networks. Our students also benefit from BGA membership through access to exclusive resources, particularly the online Career Development Centre. As a small business school, the BGA learning resources provide additional assistance to our students for their own professional development. We are excited about our continued engagement with BGA and AMBA and their support and guidance in improving our school’s responsible management practices, and quality, in management education.’

‘From the inception of the University of Lagos Business School (ULBS), we recognised the pivotal role BGA could play in improving our Business School and its programmes. When I was appointed as Coordinator of the EMBA programme of the School, I travelled from Nigeria to the headquarters of BGA, met with the Director of Operations (AMBA & BGA) and some members of his team and sought to know the standard expected of Ivy Business Schools and top MBA programmes. The advice I received, our subsequent membership of BGA, the 2020 Accreditation Forum and the 2021 Global Conference I attended have contributed immensely to the progress of our Business School and the MBA programme in particular. Our student enrolment has been rising year on year, and we now have international students.’Â Â

Accreditation Director
Nebrija Business School, Spain
‘As members of BGA, we have the benefit of conducting one Programme Consultancy Review per year. This review can relate to various aspects of the business school (MBA programme, marketing, admission process…). Last May, we decided to use this faculty and submitted our MBA to this process, which has proven to be very helpful to our business school. The sole fact of completing the data collection form offered by BGA is already very useful to approach the analysis, as it offers an extremely analytical and impact-driven framework. BGA’s response to our form was very detailed and, at the same time, very enlightening at a time of change for Nebrija Business School. As part of this renewal process, we have redefined the pillars on which our project rests: business fundamentals, business analytics, technology, and innovation, change management, sustainability, and entrepreneurship. All this is to align ourselves with the quality standards required by accreditation agencies and our stakeholders.’  Â
Neil Mort, President
Acsenda School of Management, CanadaÂ
‘As a small, independent business school in Canada, we found the Programme Consultancy Review an excellent opportunity to receive expert feedback on a new degree program proposal. The insights provided an international perspective, which was helpful given the nature of our student body and our interest in providing a global perspective. From the review, we were able to identify areas that required greater clarification and improvement. As we prepared for our formal regulatory review, we found this very helpful. The supportive comments helped reinforce the decisions that we had made on the curriculum and overall program design. I want to thank the BGA for providing this great service.’Â
