Hi! I’m Sasa from Podgorica, Montenegro. I completed my secondary education in Devon, UK, studying Biology, Mathematics, and English Literature at A-level. After this, I was determined to continue my studies abroad, and Forward College felt like a great option for me. I’ve always been driven by analytical thinking, so the Bachelor’s+ in Data Science and Business Analytics seemed like the perfect degree choice, allowing me to focus on data analysis, machine learning, and real-world projects in my area of interest. I am sure that this degree programme will help me achieve my goals of driving decision-making and innovation in my future career. Outside of class, you can find me swimming, as it’s a very relaxing break from a busy academic schedule.

Hello! My name is Ann-Kristin. I am German-American and grew up in North Carolina before moving to Berlin, Germany in 2013. After finishing my Abitur with a focus on Spanish and English, I took a gap year where I traveled to 20 countries and volunteered in summer camps, on farms, in independent communities, and at a hostel. Those experiences really sparked my interest in people, culture, and how we understand one another, which is what inspired me to study psychology at Forward College.
I chose the Bachelor’s+ program because it integrates academic study with international experience, providing opportunities to apply theoretical knowledge in real-world contexts.
In my free time, I love doing all kinds of sports, reading, and playing board games with friends.

Hi, my name is Youssef, and I’m from Giza, Egypt. I chose Forward College for its unique and innovative approach to higher education. One that blends academic excellence with personal growth and real-world experience. Studying Economics and Politics allows me to understand how societies operate, how decisions are made, and how on-paper-ideas can translate into action and application, offering me both analytical and practical perspectives on global issues. What I value most about Forward is its dynamic and diverse community. Being surrounded by an international community you are guaranteed to meet open-minded peers from around the world with whom you could discuss different perspectives and ideas, which creates an inspiring environment where learning extends far beyond the classroom. After having finished my high school in Paris and having that as my first academic experience abroad, I am excited to embrace the next 3 years that will be filled with a larger and diversified catalog of experiences and opportunities.

Hi! My name is Lauren and I’m Japanese-American. I grew up learning a multitude of languages and cultures through a diverse set of communities built in the Twin Cities in Minnesota. Before attending Forward, I took a bit of an unconventional route and decided to take a gap year. I had the chance to travel and really explore my interests before deciding on my higher education journey. As I prepared for my studies, I realised I was still unsure of what track I wanted to pursue. When the opportunity to explore a future at Forward College presented itself, I felt elated to have found a school that supported and encouraged me to continue to explore multiple programmes through the Open Bachelor’s alongside an amazing international cohort. In my own time, I enjoy cooking with my family, spending time in nature, and I especially enjoy listening to music.
