It is centrally located and close to Dubai Media City, Dubai Internet City, Dubai Marina, and Palm Jumeirah, all of which are home to many leading businesses and creative agencies – both local and international – providing plenty of opportunities for students.

Earlier, an open day was organised on July 31 in Dubai for students and parents to interact with Counsellors, Faculty, and Alumni of GBS to help them choose the most suitable programme for them, keeping in view their attitude and aptitude for a particular career path.
