Forward College - Lisbon

"In such changing times, it’s important to be prepared for a change in both private and professional life. I feel like traditional academic-style education doesn’t prepare us for such challenges. Forward College focuses on relevant skills and offers personal development resources and those were the main factors that I considered when applying. Learning these during my studies would be a big advantage when applying for jobs after graduation and I believe would help me reach my potential in various fields."

Bogna is from Poland and is a student from our founding class. She is enrolled in the BSc in Psychology, with academic direction from King’s College, University of London. She has a wide range of interests that she pursues energetically, including medicine, psychology and astronomy.

Yohana is currently studying a double Bachelor’s in Economics and Politics, and Business and Leadership.

“I decided to join Forward College for its personalised approach to teaching and the variety of fields of study I could focus on. At Forward, I knew I wouldn’t be treated just as a number and would be given the opportunity to craft my bachelor's based on my own interests.

Working on topics I am passionate about is how I feel I can make an impact in the world. Currently, I’m a Climate Pact Ambassador for the European Commission, which means I am able to attend global events and also collaborated with non-profit organisations like UNICEF. I am also passionate about law, arts, philosophy and volunteering.”
