Just Graduated

Dear Graduate,

Congratulations on the successful completion of your CEU degree! We are thrilled to welcome you to the expansive community of CEU alumni living, working and making history across the globe.

While your records are being transferred to the alumni database,* please take a moment to scan this page and learn about the benefits, services and opportunities that your CEU alumni membership can offer you.

Find CEU Alumni in Your Country

Whether you plan to go back home or move to another country, take advantage of CEU's global alumni network by getting in touch with your local alumni group. CEU has alumni chapters in over 60 countries across Europe, North and South America, Africa and Asia. View all alumni chapters.

Alumni chapters regularly organize free social, networking and recruitment events, as well as conferences and special projects - sometimes with a little financial help from CEU thanks to the Alumni Chapter Grant Program. 

Remember that relationships are your best personal and professional asset. Your fellow alumni are the best source of support and inspiration after university, so be sure to stay in touch with them and contact the alumni chapter volunteers near you.
