Make your studies
a journey

The Forward College programme has prepared me very well for my future in politics and international relations. Living with a group of students from different nationalities in three European capitals has sharpened my communication skills and strengthened my ability to adapt—crucial qualities for my future career in international organisations or government communication. Receiving offers from prestigious Master’s programmes, such as Strategic Communication at King’s College London and International Development at IE University in Madrid, and finally being accepted onto my Master’s programme of choice, Political Communication at LSE, is a testament to the effectiveness of Forward College’s educational approach.

I decided to join Forward College for its personalised approach to teaching and the variety of fields of study I could focus on. At Forward, I knew I wouldn’t be treated merely as a number and would be given the opportunity to shape my bachelor’s degree based on my own interests.

I enrolled in the Bachelor’s+ in Data Science & Business Analytics after spending a year on an exchange in Switzerland. I joined Forward to meet people from all over the world and to travel while studying. I recently received an award from LSE and UoL for good performance in the 2023 exams, and it’s nice to see our hard work being recognised. I think it goes to show that combining the right group of people with good preparation really makes a difference.

After my high school experience at United World College and having completed one year at a Canadian university, I came to Forward College because of its small-classroom and discussion-focused approach. Compared to my previous university, the teaching fellows at Forward are able to provide me with more individual support, feedback, and recognition. Additionally, Forward grants me the opportunity to explore and discover three countries—Portugal, France, and Germany—with just one Bachelor’s degree.

I decided to leave my previous university and join Forward because I was persuaded by the opportunity to engage with multiple cultures. I am studying in three different cultural settings, surrounded by people with various backgrounds and cultural identities. Forward’s teaching approach and the proximity of the teachers to students also meet my wishes and expectations.

I joined Forward College because of its innovative teaching methods and focus on practical skills. After graduation, I would like to work as a photojournalist in conflict areas, and I believe that studying at Forward will not only help me realise my ambitions for travel and learning but also enable me to develop the resilience and emotional intelligence required to undertake the important yet demanding work of my dreams.
