Our Bachelor’s Degrees Designed by LSE and KCL

Forward College offers Bachelor’s degrees under the academic direction of the London School of Economics (LSE, #3 in Europe) and King’s College London (KCL, #6 in Europe), awarded by the University of London.

  • Programmes are designed by LSE or KCL, and students have access to official learning materials from these institutions.

  • Courses are taught on our campuses by Forward College professors, who are vetted by LSE or KCL and follow their respective curricula.

  • Exams are assessed and graded by academics from LSE or KCL.

  • Degrees are awarded by the University of London, with diplomas stating that they were completed under the academic direction of LSE or KCL.

The Forward College Bachelors 

These innovative – fully accredited – bachelors combine a variety of disciplines, forward-looking challenges and leadership development in a way that is highly flexible. Three pathways are available:

  • The Open Bachelor’s is inspired by the US liberal arts education model where students explore freely among all the available courses in year 1 and specialise in a major – and potentially a minor – from year 2.
  • The PPE Bachelor is a combination of Philosophy, Politics and Economics.
  • The PPLE Bachelor is a combination of Psychology, Politics, Law and Economics.
  • These Bachelors are designed and awarded by Forward College, accredited by the French Ministry of Higher Education and recognised internationally.
