Federation member information>
Forward College is a Higher Education Institution designed for bright undergraduate students who wish to go beyond academic excellence.Our students combine a Bachelor’s degree from the LSE or King’s College London with a fully international experience (3 years in 3 countries), real-life projects, and a personal development programme which will bolster their future professional life.Students benefit from a personalised learning experience with small group teaching and one-on-one tutoring delivered by a world-class faculty. Forward Faculty applies an active learning approach. Having been largely validated by science, this approach aims to grow students’ autonomy. Forward’s classes (seminars and workshops) are not designed to deliver content but to help students answer difficult questions, solve problems in teams, debate or simulate real-life situations after they have explored the course material – individually and in teams.Degree subjects on offer include: Economics and Politics, Psychology, Politics and International Relations, Data Science and Business Analytics, and Politics.
Welcome from the founder
The world is facing major changes: environmental, with our planet at risk; technological, with AI challenging our jobs and the place of humans in the workplace; societal, with rising inequalities and wavering democracies. We are at a crossroads. Furthermore, it seems that the world will be changing faster and faster, from the way we connect to the way we engage with each other and the way we work.
In order to tackle such important challenges, we need to arm the next generation with new skills, new knowledge, and a new mindset, empowering them so they can shape these transitions in a positive way. Never before have our challenges required so much positive leadership.
This is why Forward College has as one of its core ambitions the aim to train positive leaders who will be able to identify shared purposes and engage people across all fields of expertise, organisations, cultures and social barriers.
