Alumni Groups Worldwide

With more than 18,000 graduates in nearly 150 countries, you're never far from your fellow CEU alumni. See below to find your nearest alumni chapter. Don't see one? We can help you start your own. Learn how.

NOTE RE COVID-19:

As more and more alumni are turning to online resources for normal daily activities, consider using your local chapter Facebook groups as another platform to connect. Feel free to share any resources you think may be helpful for your fellow alumni, including but not limited to open courses, professional and personal development resources, free concerts/museum tours/any other online entertainment. Feel free to also share your own personal experience on how you’re dealing with the crisis. This is a safe space, reserved only for CEU alumni, students and faculty/staff. You can join multiple chapter groups, if you wish to stay connected to the global CEU community, particularly the Central European University Alumni and Friends group.
