Make your studies
a journey

The Forward College programme has prepared me very well for my future in diplomacy and political communication. Living with a group of students from all around the world in three European capitals has definitely improved my communication skills and strengthened my adaptability. Receiving offers from universities, such as King’s College London and IE University, 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 guidance and educational approach.

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 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.

Forward provided me with a space where I could safely experiment, make mistakes, and push myself beyond my academic limits. The development of practical skills such as leadership, cultural adaptability, and entrepreneurship, alongside a solid academic foundation, strengthened my application to Sciences Po Paris. I am very excited to start a Master’s in International Security at the School of International Affairs next year. It will open many doors and bring me closer to my desired career in diplomacy.

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. 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.
