Forward College

Applications for the 2027 intake are now open.

Forward College runs across three cities: Lisbon, Paris, Berlin - one year in each. Students change country, language, and context every year, for three years. That's the model, not an add-on.

The degrees are designed with LSE and King's College London, and built around a simple premise: as AI changes what a tool can do every six months, what doesn't change is whether you can frame a problem, spot a flawed argument, or know when to doubt an answer. That's what the programme trains.

Classes average 15 students, with one-on-one weekly tutoring and a Personal Development Programme - keeping the human touch as the model AI can't replace. Over three years, students study alongside 40+ nationalities and take on real projects and internships.

Our new cohort has landed at Forward College.

This year we welcome students from 30 countries across the globe, from Norway to Zimbabwe, Ecuador to Sri Lanka - kicking off a three-year adventure that will take them across Lisbon, Paris and Berlin.

Their first days have been busy: new home, new classmates, new fellows, and a first taste of how learning works at Forward - small-group classes, hands-on projects, and everyday life alongside a truly international community.

Welcome to Forward, Class of 2029!

Ida just wrapped up her Graduate Traineeship at JDE Peet's - market insight, sales analytics and financial planning, across Amsterdam, Paris and Almaty, Kazakhstan.

Landing in a new country for work, she says, felt a lot less daunting after doing it four times at Forward:
"I remember arriving in Kazakhstan not knowing the language, the people, or the town. I felt overwhelmed at first, but having already done this four times before, I was definitely much more confident in how to handle it."

This autumn, she starts a Master's in Financial Analysis at London Business School.

Congratulations Ida!

Before we dive into a new academic year, we wanted to take a moment to celebrate our Class of 2026.

91% of them achieved a Upper Second-Class Honours or above in their final examinations - the entry requirement for most top Master’s programmes across Europe, including institutions such as LSE, Sciences Po, HEC and Oxford.

For our graduates, this is more than a strong academic result. It gives them the opportunity to take their next steps at some of the world’s leading universities, while opening the door to the careers they’ve been working towards since day one.

It also reflects the way we teach at Forward: small-group classes, 1:1 mentoring, the use of AI in the learning process and the flipped classroom - and the results show that it works.
