Why GSM London?

GSM London is an independent School of Higher Education with two campuses in London. We specialise in study programmes leading to qualifications in business management, finance & accounting, law, travel & tourism, IT, HR, health services management and cognate areas, as well as awards of various professional bodies.

We were founded in 1973 and since then have produced over 20,000 successful graduates, many of whom occupy key positions in private industries such as oil and gas management, as well as in the public sector, around the world. Many of the School's students proceed to further studies and research in the university sector after having successfully completed their programmes at GSM London.

There are currently over 3500 students enrolled at the School, and while most of them are UK based we have a significant international students' cohort representing over 60 nationalities.

The School offers validated business management degree programmes which include BSc(Hons), MBA and MSc degrees through a partnership with the University of Plymouth.

The School has two campuses, one located in historic Greenwich, occupying a fine Art Deco building with a landmark 180 ft clock tower and the other in Greenford, west London. GSM London prides itself on its personal, tight-knit, caring and friendly ambience. By day, the School has a mix of international and home students whilst the evening classes attract London based managers and executives. The weekend and executive students undertaking part-time study are high fliers or fast trackers destined for top management posts.

The School is small enough for staff to know all the students personally and this gives the place an intimate atmosphere. Staff are caring and responsive and students very much feel part of the community of the School. Location of GSM London in the town of Greenwich is historical and has a collegiate feel to it, with bookshops, bars, antique markets and the royal park on the School's doorstep.

The School has three main intakes throughout the year: in February, June and October. The weekend and executive programmes can be started in any month.

The teaching faculty combines a depth of academic knowledge with practical experience of management.

Over the past 38 years GSM London has been recognised as an institution that meets the needs of students, employers and the wider academic community, and has a deserved reputation as being one of the leading vocational London universities and among the best independent business schools in the UK.
