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: 

• Helps you stay on track with clear, instant information: Check your attendance on two speedometers, top for the current year and bottom for your four-week average. 
• Reduces stress during busy weeks: Keep all essential updates, like important announcements and communications, in one place. 
• Supports better planning and time management: Access your timetable via EventMap and track pending or incomplete tasks with their related deadlines. 
• Connects you to support when you need it most: Access JIRA for student support enquiries directly through the app. 
• Builds confidence in your academic progress: View your grades per module to keep a pulse on your unratified marks.
