Zoom on our Open Bachelor’s

With this innovative programme, you will experience the freedom of U.S. liberal education. 

This unique curriculum is multidisciplinary and customisable, allowing students to better apprehend global challenges and opportunities, and understand the dynamics of change. Our approach emphasises a balance of theory, application, and hands-on practice, with a strong focus on project-based learning and teamwork.

In their first year, students explore a broad range of subjects from various fields. By the second and third years, they have the option to specialise in one major, or choose a combination of a major and a minor, or even pursue two majors for a Double Bachelor’s degree. This flexible structure not only prepares students for selective interdisciplinary master’s programmes but also masters’ programmes in their chosen major.

  • Flexibility: explore freely in Year 1, and specialise in Years 2 and 3.
  • Integration: Combination of academic theories, applications and leadership practice.
  • Innovation: strong focus on contemporary challenges (climate change, technological advancements, inequalities…).
  • Format: single or double bachelor’s.
  • Degree: Bachelor’s in Social Science and Technology designed and awarded by Forward College.
  • Accreditation: We expect the Open Bachelor to be accredited by the French Ministry of Education during the academic year of 2024/2025. French Bachelors are recognised internationally.
