Offering programs from Foundation to Ph.D., we deliver cutting-edge curricula entirely in English, bridging academic theory with real-world application. With a strong focus on innovation, digital transformation and entrepreneurial leadership, we equip students with the skills to navigate and excel in today’s dynamic global business environment.
Founded in 2005 in two borrowed classrooms, GBSB Global has grown into a thriving institution while remaining independent of large corporations. This autonomy allows us to prioritize a student-centered, personalized learning experience that fosters adaptability and innovation.
Our educational philosophy is inspired by the historic Consulate of the Sea, a Mediterranean institution that championed self-government, trade, and negotiation, and reflects our commitment to leadership, initiative, and adaptive problem solving.
