    Awards & Accreditations

    Forward College operates as a Recognised Teaching Center of the University of London (UoL), of which LSE and KCL are members. Our teaching is academically directed either by King’s College London (for the BSc in Psychology) or by the London School of Economics (for the other six BSc programmes).

    For Forward students, this means they:

    • are also registered at the UoL during their studies at Forward College (at no additional cost),
    • have full access to the learning materials developed by LSE or KCL through the UoL Virtual Learning Environment,
    • are taught and tutored in small groups on our campuses by Forward professors who use the material from LSE or KCL, complemented by their own teaching,
    • take annual exams graded by academics from LSE or KCL,
    • receive their Bachelor’s degree from the UoL “under the academic direction” of LSE or KCL.

    This ensures that our students earn fully accredited and internationally recognised degrees from a highly respected institution, enabling them to apply successfully to top universities around the world (see more here).

    Note: The UoL is the historic degree awarding institution for London based universities (LSE, KCL, Queen Mary…). Until recently all these institutions’ degrees were awarded by the UoL.
