What We Do

  1. We promote Learning and Teaching at the institutional and national policy level.

    BMAF actively promotes the importance of effective and innovative practice in learning and teaching within the policy agenda of business schools, departments, professional bodies and subject associations.

    We are assisted in this by a strategic partnership with the Association of Business Schools (ABS).

  2. We help all discipline groups and staff in our field to provide the best possible learning experience for students undertaking higher education.
