In 1991 CEU was founded with a mission. That mission—educating free minds for a free society—is more urgent than ever. In 2019 September, CEU announced the opening of its new campus in Vienna, Austria, because the increasingly inhospitable legal and political environment made its US degree programs impossible to keep hosting in Hungary. As of the academic year 2020/2021, CEU has been offering its world-renowned master’s and doctoral programs with US as well as Austrian accrediation on its new campus in Vienna, where the majority of its teaching operations have now moved.
CEU has always stood for academic freedom and teaching excellence and we are dedicated to providing you with an experience of intellectual freedom that will change your life. We welcome you now in our new headquarters in Vienna and encourage you to apply and to become a part of our community.
