The AMBA & BGA Excellence Awards bring together the leading lights of the global business education community to recognise and celebrate excellence among business schools, students and graduates, suppliers, and employers who share AMBA & BGA’s values of ambition, impact, and integrity.
The 2026 Awards feature a total of 13 categories, offering AMBA-accredited and BGA member, validated, and accredited business schools more opportunities than ever to showcase their achievements and be recognised on a global stage.
Celebrated for their exceptional talent, innovation, and impact that set them apart in global business education.
AMBA & BGA are delighted to unveil the exceptional shortlisted entries that have risen to the top across 13 highly competitive categories, showcasing the very best in global business education.
A huge thank you to our sponsors, whose partnership helps us celebrate and recognise outstanding achievements in global business education.
Entries in each category are first shortlisted by AMBA & BGA, then assessed by a panel of expert judges. For business school awards, winners are decided from written submissions alone, while student and graduate categories involve short interviews with finalists. Judges score entries individually and blindly; totals determine gold, silver, and bronze winners, with results revealed at the Awards ceremony.
Join us at the luxurious Royal Garden Hotel, London, on Friday 23rd January 2026, where this year’s winners will be revealed. Secure your place now – bookings are open!
