Sabancı Business School has reaffirmed its place among the world’s leading business schools with its second international accreditation.
The Association of MBAs (AMBA), one of the world’s three most prestigious accreditation bodies and dedicated to evaluating MBA programs, has accredited Sabancı Business School’s MBA, Professional MBA, and Executive MBA programs for a period of three years.
Following a review visit to the School on September 30 – October 1, 2025, the four-member AMBA panel commended the reputation of Sabancı Business School within the higher education landscape, as well as the flexibility it offers students in program selection. The report also highlights the high quality of the faculty’s research publications, their participation in Europe-wide research projects, and the School’s strong ties with the business community.
The AMBA accreditation process evaluates a wide range of criteria including the effectiveness of governance structures, strategic objectives, student profile, admission standards, program design and content, quality of academic staff, research outputs, relationships with alumni, and the business world, as well as sustainability and societal impact.
By earning AMBA accreditation, Sabancı Business School has demonstrated its position within the top 2% of business schools globally. The School has also become a new member of the Business Graduates Association (BGA), an organization that recognizes institutions with a strong commitment to creating social and economic impact.
Andrew Main Wilson, CEO of AMBA and BGA, congratulated the School and expressed his hope that the fruitful collaboration will continue for many years to come.
Prof. Ayşegül Toker, Dean of Sabancı Business School, shared her thoughts on this significant achievement: “This remarkable success is the result of the dedicated efforts of our faculty, administrative team, and everyone who has contributed to strengthening our programs and reputation. The AMBA accreditation is both a milestone for us and a reminder that our journey toward excellence continues.”
Prof. Toker also extended her heartfelt gratitude to all former deans and faculty members for their vision, commitment, and contributions over the past 25 years.
We wholeheartedly congratulate all our academic and administrative staff who contributed to this proud achievement and once again celebrate our School’s success.
