You could use a NSDateFormatter to achieve this result.

NSString *dateAsString = @"08/07/2013 04:06";

NSDateFormatter *df = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[df setDateFormat:@"dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm"];

NSTimeZone *gmt = [NSTimeZone timeZoneWithAbbreviation:@"GMT"];
[df setTimeZone:gmt];

NSDate *myDate = [df dateFromString: dateAsString];

NSLog(@"date: %@", myDate);
