Self-assessment
Find out if Forward College is your ideal university
Forward College is aimed at students who prioritise international experience, small groups and a close educational model. It is not a mass university, but a specific option for those looking for a structured, very human academic environment.
This university is for you if…
- You're looking for an international bachelor's grounded in social sciences and business.
- You want to study in Berlin, Paris and Lisbon during your university journey.
- You prefer small groups and direct contact with your lecturers.
- You value a demanding academic environment but with close support.
- You consider developing a European mindset and an international network to be key.
This university is not for you if…
- You prefer a university with large campuses and very big groups.
- You don't like the idea of changing city and country more than once during the bachelor's.
- You're looking for a very traditional model with little innovation in its educational approach.
- You're not willing to take on the academic and personal challenge of living in three different settings.
- The international dimension is not a deciding factor in your choice of university.
The programme
3 years, 3 cities, always the same group
The whole group moves together: first year in Lisbon, second in Paris and third in Berlin. In each city you have a place reserved in a student residence.
- University of London degrees with an LSE or King's College London curriculum: Business & Management, Data Science & Business Analytics, Economics, Economics & Management, Economics & Politics, Politics & International Relations and Psychology.
- Forward College's own degrees, such as the Open Bachelor's or Philosophy, Politics & Economics (PPE).
- On University of London degrees, exams are assessed by the LSE or King's College.
- Groups of about 15 students and around 280 students in total, so the attention is very personal.
