Assessment
This GBS course will provide you with opportunities to test your knowledge and understanding through informal formative assessments. Formative assessments will be completed before your formal summative assessment, which will determine your final marks.
Each module normally contains at least one piece of formative assessment from which you will receive feedback from your course team. Formative assessments are purely for developmental purposes and do not count towards your final module mark.
They are designed to help you to gain more knowledge and confidence in the module material and approaches to formal assessment. Students who do not engage with informal assessments often struggle with Foundation Year progression, as well as with the academic levels above.
The formal summative assessment usually occurs towards the end of each module. Assessment methods may include written examinations and a range of coursework, including reports, portfolios, essays, and presentations.
The marks awarded for summative assessments count towards your final module mark. Assessment methods at GBS are reviewed annually and may be updated in consultation with students, for example in response to student or External Examiner feedback.
An External Examiner is an independent academic expert from another higher education provider, and they are appointed by Canterbury Christ Church University to provide external assurance regarding the academic standards of your course.

GBS is a higher education provider offering a range of sector-relevant courses across ten campuses in London, Birmingham, Leeds and Manchester.
Working in partnership with several of the UK’s leading higher education providers, we deliver vocational, undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in finance, accounting, business, construction, tourism, healthcare – and more.
We aim to help our students thrive in today’s competitive job market, offering excellent links to employers and a focus on one-to-one academic and career guidance in addition to our specialist courses.
We take an inclusive approach to recruiting students, with an aim to widening access to higher education among groups currently under-represented in the sector.
Our History
GBS began in 2010 as a specialist training centre for finance and investment banking, offering courses to students from around the world. Over the last 14 years, we've evolved and grown so we can offer more qualifications to even more students.
In 2016, we opened our first campus, in London’s iconic East End and that's what shaped the institution we are today. As one of the city’s most economically deprived areas, we quickly realised we could improve communities by reaching those from backgrounds where traditional university wasn't an option.
We partnered with several UK universities who shared our vision, allowing us to add other academic disciplines to our portfolio. As well as continuing to offer finance and banking courses, we now have business management, construction and healthcare programmes providing even more opportunity for our students.
Fast-forward to 2024 and we have nine campuses in four of the UK’s biggest and most exciting cities – London, Birmingham, Leeds and Manchester. With over 30,000 students studying with us, the GBS journey has only just begun.
Vision and values
At GBS, our students are at the heart of everything we do because we know education is transformational. Our job is to create access to learning for everyone, regardless of background or circumstances, because this is how we change lives.
Studying with us is about so much more than gaining a qualification. We care about personal growth and we're here to make a significant contribution to our communities through better opportunities and employment prospects for all who join the GBS family.
Changing one life at a time through transformational education can and will inspire others to want a better future for themselves. As new businesses are started and promotions are earned, confidence grows turning goals into reality. Every student, one by one, is contributing to the change the world needs to see. And that's why we do what we do.
