GBS Malta has an open and student-centred admissions policy. A student's general potential rather than grades is considered important. Applicants meeting minimum academic qualifications and English language proficiency (e.g., IELTS or equivalent tests) will most likely be offered a place. Work experience, motivation, and relevance to the mission of the programme are also taken into consideration. This is inclusive of catering to students from diverse backgrounds, both to the benefit of freshers as well as professionals who wish to upskill. Although not selective in the strictest sense, merit and program-specific criteria are utilized as admissions criteria.
