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 Excellence Awards 2026 recognise outstanding achievement, innovation, and impact across 13 highly competitive categories. The awards give AMBA-accredited and BGA member, validated and accredited Business Schools a global platform to showcase excellence and gain international recognition.
Meet the institutions and individuals defining best practice in global business education, from this year’s shortlisted finalists to the 2026 award winners.
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.
We hold a series of events for business school professionals across the globe and throughout the calendar year. They range from conferences offering excellent development and networking opportunities right through to webinars.
