Angela, Class of 2026

Third-year student in Berlin

Double Bachelor’s in Business & Management and Business & Leadership

Kenya

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.

Clarence, Class of 2027

Second-year student in Paris

Double Bachelor’s in Business & Management and Business & Leadership

Belgium

Hi, my name is Clarence. I’m from Brussels, Belgium. Having studied at an international high school, I really enjoyed the diverse international community that Forward College offers, as well as the opportunity to explore and study in three new cities. During my IB, I took Higher Level courses in Business, Chemistry, and Theatre. This broad set of skills made me want to find a bachelor’s programme that would allow me to explore more than just academics. The Double Bachelor’s in Business & Management gave me the chance to pursue my entrepreneurial ambitions while developing many soft skills alongside my academic studies.

Sasa, Class of 2026

Third-year student in Berlin

Bachelor’s+ in data Science & Business Analytics

Montenegro

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.

Ann-Kristin, Class of 2026

Third-year student in Berlin

Bachelor’s+ in Psychology

Germany

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.

Madalena, Class of 2027

Second-year student in Paris

Double Bachelor’s in Politics & International Relations and Business & Leadership

Portugal

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.

Amelie, Class of 2027

Second-year student in Paris

Bachelor‘s+ in Politics & International Relations

Germany

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.

Youssef, Class of 2028

First-year student in Lisbon

Bachelor’s+ in Economics and Politics

Egypt

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.

Lauren, Class of 2028

First-year student in Lisbon

Open Bachelor’s+

USA

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.
