Alumni BUEB

The Budapest University of Economics and Business has a 160-year history. Its unique history - its immediate predecessor BGF was established in 2000 by the integration of 3 successful higher education institutions and has been operating as a university since 2016 - has seen many graduates from a wide range of economic disciplines come out of its walls.

We are proud of the fact that the graduates of BUEB and its predecessor institutions are among the most respected and sought-after professionals in the Hungarian labour market, many of them leading figures in Hungarian society and economy.

It is important for us that our graduates remain members of our community, with whom we maintain professional and human relations. Our aim is to provide an opportunity and a community space for our former students to keep in touch and to engage in lifelong learning.

It's worth joining our community, because as well as connecting with people you haven't seen for a long time, you can expand your friendships and professional contacts. Our newsletter will keep you regularly informed about the highlights and news of BUEB life, and you can take part in interesting and exciting university events - annual Faculty Alumni Meetings, academic, cultural and training programmes.

About us

What is the purpose of BUEB Alumni?

Budapest University of Economics and Business is Hungary's number one business university, educating more than 18000 students in the field of economics. Our market recognition is based on more than 160 years of professional history and an experiential, practice-oriented training structure tailored to market needs. Our sustainability efforts, internationalization processes and entrepreneurial approach contribute to building even closer links with the economy.

BUEB's model change on 1 August 2021 will also help us strategically achieve our ambition to be the leading university of applied sciences in Central Europe, building and sharing relevant knowledge with our students, business partners and society by building communities. To achieve this vision, we need our former students to join us in making BUEB even better!

BUEB Alumni provides the conditions and opportunities for former students to re-engage in the university's daily life: education, research and community life.

Who can become a member of the BUEB alumni community?

Anyone who graduated from Budapest University of Economics and Business or successfully completed one of the courses offered by the University (including, of course, predecessor institutions and departments that are no longer part of BUEB but were still part of the institution when the degree was awarded).

How can you join BUEB Alumni?

The university's current interface for former students is the Alumni page (link) on the BUEB website, where visitors can find out about news and events concerning BUEB and the individual faculties, find out about opportunities to get involved in university teaching, research and community life, and find out about ways of cooperation with the university and available services.

To apply for alumni membership, please complete the registration form at BGE Alumni (uni-bge.hu)

At the time of registration, users can decide whether they would like to take advantage of the alumni membership only or subscribe to the regular electronic newsletter of the alumni community, which provides information on a wider range of BUEB-related news.

What opportunities does BUEB Alumni offer?

As a member of the community, former students can keep up to date with the latest news and events concerning BUEB and its faculties, as well as the opportunities offered to former students and external actors (companies, SMEs, start-ups, institutions).

They can continue their studies at their alma mater and take part in some courses with discounts.

They can participate in events, lectures and conferences organized by the university for former students and receive support for the organization of events and programmes they have initiated.

They can return to the University as researchers, lecturers, providers of case studies or even in the frame of business partnerships.

They can contribute to the university's strategic goals through educational development and other innovation projects, or even financially support education and student community life.

How can you get actively involved in building the BUEB alumni community?

We aim to build an alumni ambassador system to work with stakeholders in order to develop programmes and opportunities that truly meet the needs of former students, and to incorporate their practical experience into the education. This will enable us to meet one of the most important needs of students: to prepare them for real life, for employment, career development or starting their own business.
