What parents want to know

The degree, the costs and life abroad.

We cover the questions families ask most before applying. You can also ask about anything that matters to your family.

Question one

Will the degree be recognised back home?

We explain GBSB Global’s accreditations, including MFHEA in Malta and AQU Catalunya in Spain, and how to check the details of the program your child chooses.

We also explain what these accreditations mean and what to look at when you check how the degree is recognised in your country.

We go through tuition for the Foundation and Bachelor’s programs, the scholarships available and how to qualify. We also talk about the cost of housing, food and transport.

We cover payment options and instalment plans, so you can plan the family budget.
