5 reasons why you should join Forward
Are you considering the next step in your academic journey? Forward College offers a unique experience that sets it apart from traditional universities. Here are five compelling reasons why joining Forward College could be the best decision for your future.
World-Class Degrees
We offer seven bachelor’s degrees covering subjects such as Economics, Business, Politics, Data Science and Psychology. They are designed either by King’s College London (Psychology) or the London School of Economics (all the others). The degrees are awarded by the University of London – to which LSE and KCL belong – and are recognised globally.
I used to be a university professor at an elitist higher education institution, so the most important criteria in choosing Forward College for me was to ensure that the academic level would be high enough […] and, it is thanks to the University of London degrees.

A Unique Multicultural Environment
Students spend their first year in Lisbon, their second in Paris, and their third in Berlin. Our students, representing 33 nationalities, live together in dedicated residences near the learning centers. We guarantee housing each year, so there is no organization hassle during your summer. In Paris, our campus is located in the renown “Cité Internationale Universitaire ”.
My passion for traveling, learning new languages, and getting to know other cultures and people has always made me eager to study abroad after high school. For this reason, enrolling in Forwards College’s outstanding programme allowed me to achieve exactly that—not just in one location, but three—making it simpler for me to eventually start a career abroad.

Forward College is the most exciting programme in Higher Education I’ve come across.

Highly Personalised Learning
Students are not numbers. They receive personalised attention and support from their teachers thanks to an average class size of 15 students and weekly one-on-one tutoring. This fosters a supportive and tailored educational environment. Our faculty members have been previously affiliated with renowned institutions such as the LSE, King’s College London, the University of St Andrews, Yale, Sorbonne University…
After my high school experience through 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.
