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, 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.

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.
