Office Lease Contract

GMBS currently operates from one leased office space, which serves as the institution's administrative and coordination hub. As GMBS is designed as a primarily online higher education provider, no face-to-face teaching or other student instructional activities are conducted on the premises.

The leased office is used primarily for:

• administrative and managerial functions of the institution,

• coordination of academic and quality assurance (QA) processes,

• activities related to governance, document management, and compliance with regulatory requirements,

• communication and coordination with academic staff, partners, and external stakeholders.

Teaching, assessment, communication with students, and student support are delivered through online platforms.

GMBS is also actively identifying and assessing options for securing additional premises, as its planning anticipates gradual expansion and the allocation of staff who will perform certain activities physically in Malta. In this context, GMBS is currently in discussions with Businesslabs Malta regarding further premises options. In line with this planned development, GMBS commits to providing adequate and representative working spaces for staff based on-site, in compliance with operational and regulatory requirements.
