School/Programme Consultancy Review
A consultancy review that identify key areas to improve, enhance, and innovate
A school/programme consultancy review is an evaluation of a select aspect of your business school, such as your current marketing and admissions strategy, or a current undergraduate or MBA programme. It thoroughly reviews everything against AMBA or BGA accreditation criteria, industry best practice, and industry trends. It also comes with specific recommendations on what your business school can do to improve against each criteria. Following the completion of a school/programme consultancy review, members can schedule a video or phone call with a BGA representative to follow up with comments on how to achieve the recommended changes.
Our school/programme consultancy reviews are handled directly by our academic consultants who carry decades of experience consulting and accrediting business schools around the world.

BGA Membership Testimonials
‘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.’
'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.'
