GSM London

Founded in 1974 by two brothers, one an entrepreneur, the other the Dean of the Faculty of Management and Policy Sciences at Aston University, the history of the College is one of educational innovation and entrepreneurship. An important part of the mission of the College has been to play an active role in the development of independent higher education. One way we do this is through building our relationships and actively contributing as members of bodies from across the sector, including GuildHE, HEFCE Strategic Advisory Committees, and the Leadership Foundation for Higher Education.

As an organisation dedicated to the regeneration of its communities through progressive and innovative higher education, we remain a dynamic contributor to the London and national higher education landscape, as we have been for over 40 years.

We are truly inclusive, and proud of our students who represent a wide range of ages and ethnicities. We attract a uniquely dynamic and entrepreneurial student base, and we support all ambitions. What sets GSM London apart is that we focus on employability from day one, offering industry-tailored courses, key real-world employer workshops and careers events, plus the expert services of our dedicated careers team.

Our innovative curriculum helps students to recognise their talents and build strengths to support their learning and personal development. Our staff take pride in nurturing students, giving them practical help so that they can achieve their bold dreams. In fact, our ongoing work to enhance the learning experience for our students has been given a special commendation by the Quality Assurance Agency!

We offer routes into study for people with every level of existing qualifications. So if you already have A levels or equivalents you can jump straight into degree level study; and, if not, you can take up a place on the Foundation Year of one of our extended degree programmes.

We also now have a new suite of postgraduate degree programmes for professionals ready to take their studies to the next level. Our prestigious partnership with the University of Plymouth means that our students receive a final qualification awarded by one of the UK’s best universities aged under 50, which is well respected by employers.

Choosing to study at GSM London offers a genuinely life-changing experience, enabling you to establish networks and make lasting friendships that will sustain you through your studies and beyond.
