A university with a mission
Are you ready for a life-changing experience? Ever since our founding in 1991, we've been seeking solutions to the complex problems of our world, in the spirit of supporting open and democratic societies. And while we've grown from a regional academic center into a truly global institution, with students and faculty from over 100 countries, our mission has remained unchanged. In fact, we believe this mission is just as important today as it was almost 30 years ago.
Whether you've already found what inspires you or you're still looking to discover your passion, at CEU you'll be challenged to question everything you thought you ever knew...in and out of the classroom.
Listen, debate and arrive at your own conclusions.
A community for a lifetime
Our diverse community is our greatest asset – sharing experience, knowledge and ideas across disciplines, cultures, and backgrounds. CEU is a place where your voice truly matters, your opinions are heard, and your experience counts – so get involved! But that's not all: by joining CEU, you'll become a part of a community that lasts long after graduation. With approximately 17,000 graduates in more than 130 countries, you'll never be far from your fellow CEU alumni.
