Gisma University of Applied Sciences – The Only University in Germany with Both AMBA and BGA Accreditations
Gisma University of Applied Sciences is proud to announce the successful achievement of its AMBA re-accreditation and initial BGA accreditation, following approval by the International Accreditation Advisory Board (IAAB) of AMBA & BGA. This accomplishment marks an important milestone in Gisma’s continuous pursuit of excellence in business education and reaffirms its position as a globally recognised institution committed to responsible management and continuous improvement.
With this distinction, Gisma now joins the top 2% of business schools worldwide that hold AMBA accreditation, a prestigious recognition of the quality, impact, and innovation demonstrated across its programmes, faculty, and student body.

This milestone reflects Gisma’s strategic focus on delivering education that empowers students to think critically, act responsibly, and drive meaningful change. Through its innovative curriculum, international partnerships, and strong emphasis on sustainability and ethical leadership, Gisma continues to strengthen its role as a forward-thinking university that bridges the gap between academia and industry.
