    Quick answer

    Global Banking School (GBS) is a UK Government-designated higher education provider teaching business, healthcare, construction, tourism and computing courses in London (Greenford, Stratford, Holborn, Wembley), Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds. Undergraduate tuition is priced at or under the alternative-provider cap of GBP 6,935 a year, so an eligible Home student can cover fees in full with a Student Finance England tuition fee loan and pay nothing upfront.

    What courses does GBS offer?

    • HND (Level 4/5) programmes in business, health and social care, construction and computing
    • Degrees with an integrated foundation year for students returning to study
    • Level 6 top-up degrees for anyone who already holds an HND or HNC
    • Postgraduate courses including MBA and MSc routes
    The full, current list of programmes and awarding partners is published on the official GBS courses page. Course availability varies by campus and intake, so always confirm before applying.
