Chat with a student

Hi, my name is Rebecca, and I am from a small town near Bremen, in Germany. One of the reasons I joined Forward College was the opportunity to study in three different countries, as I wanted to study abroad again after my experience in Ireland during secondary school. Additionally, I was very interested in the field of Psychology and wanted to gain insight into the intricate reasons behind individuals’ behaviours. When I saw that Forward College offered Psychology as part of a Double Bachelor’s degree, with an emphasis on hands-on experience, it looked like the perfect opportunity. Outside of Forward College, I enjoy swimming, amongst other sports, because I find it to be a source of calm in my daily routine.

Hello! My name is Angela and I’m from Kenya. My academic journey before joining Forward College spanned between England and Kenya, which fueled my passion for inter-cultural exchange. I’m passionate about fostering sustainable growth and driving strategic innovation in my home country, so the Double Bachelor’s in Business & Management and Leadership whilst navigating three European cities sounded like the perfect match for me. Alongside my studies, I co-founded The Grad Media, a student-run journalism magazine, with a close friend. Our mission is to provide a platform for student voices, fostering journalistic skills and diverse perspectives. Outside of academics, I’m an avid writer with several pieces published in newspapers, and I’m currently working on a creative project that I hope to publish in the future.

Hi! I’m Madalena, and I’m from Lisbon, Portugal. Up until last year I attended a French High School, completing my Baccalauréat in Geopolitics, Economics, Sociology and Philosophy. I completed my 8th grade in self-study (CNED) while travelling around the world with my parents. I chose to study at Forward College because I want to surround myself with people that think differently about the traditional education / work system, and that are taking different approaches to achieving big goals – I’ve only just started this experience but I’ve already learned immensely from all the students here. As for my Bachelor’s choice, I feel that an understanding of the institutions and actors that shape our societies is crucial for enacting any change within them. I’m also incredibly passionate about anything on wheels, be it racing formulas, go-karting or antique car rallies. In the future I want to promote the entry of women into such racing series, such as F1 or Dakar.

Hey! I‘m Amelie, and I‘m from Hamburg, Germany. I graduated High School last year, doing my Abitur with a focus on Social Studies and History taught in English. After graduating I took a gap year, during which I travelled, worked, did Internships and volunteered. Growing up bilingual, speaking Spanish and travelling a lot with my parents, I knew early that I wanted to study abroad and participate in at least one exchange programme, hence why I was fascinated by Forward‘s programme of studying in three different countries at once and my choice became easy. Outside of Forward I love to dance, as it makes me feel free and releases any stress I might have, but I‘m also into cooking, spending time with my friends and reading.
