Introducing the MyGBS app: Your new way to stay connected, informed and supported

What is the MyGBS app? 

The MyGBS app is your central hub for everything you need as a GBS student. Instead of checking multiple systems or searching through emails, you will find your key academic information in one simple, easy-to-use place. Your attendance, grades, timetable, announcements, library resources and student services are all accessible from the moment you open the app. 

It is designed to make your day easier. You can check your progress, stay updated, plan ahead and find support without any confusion or delay. In everyday terms, the app helps you study smarter and manage your time with more confidence, wherever you are. 

How the MyGBS app supports your student journey 

Every student’s life is different. While some students are returning to education after a long break, others are balancing work and childcare, and some are managing the pace of a new academic level. In the middle of all this, you need information that is easy to find, clear to understand and available whenever you need it. The MyGBS app has been built with this reality in mind, giving you practical support that fits into your life. Here is how the app strengthens your day-to-day study experience: 

1. Helps you stay on track with clear, instant information: You can check your attendance, grades and timetable in seconds, removing the guesswork and helping you understand exactly where you stand. 
2. Reduces stress during busy weeks: Whether you are juggling shifts or personal commitments, the MyGBS app keeps all your essential updates in one place, so nothing gets lost, missed or overlooked. 
3. Supports better planning and time management: With quick access to deadlines, sessions and announcements, you can plan your week with more certainty and make adjustments before things become overwhelming. 
4. Connects you to support when you need it most: From welfare services to careers guidance, the app places student support within reach, encouraging you to seek help early and confidently. 
5. Builds confidence in your academic progress: Seeing your information clearly laid out will help you make informed decisions about your workload, attendance and next steps, giving you more control over your learning journey.
