Being a CEMS student means being a part of a new, global community
Joining CEMS isn’t only about enrolling in a prestigious international programme, it’s also about finding yourself amongst like-minded, ambitious and supportive people.
You may have already heard the saying: “Once a CEMSie, always a CEMSie.” If you’ve ever wondered what that really means, it’s simple. The friendships, the network and the opportunities don’t end when you finish the programme. They stay with you long after graduation.
There are plenty of events and experiences that bring the community together, both in Hungary and abroad. Here’s a taste of what you can expect when you become part of this global family.

CEMS and sustainability
Whether you’re joining a plogging challenge, watching a documentary with the Sustainability Film Club or trying vegan meals as a group, you’ll find opportunities to make meaningful choices and learn more about responsible living.
International Adventures
The CEMS experience extends far beyond borders. You can take part in the CEMS Career Forum, one of the biggest recruitment events in the network, or join regional forums such as the V4, Nordic, DACH or Marenostrum. Each brings students, companies and universities together for skill seminars, workshops, interviews and cultural experiences.
And of course, last but not least, there’s the CEMS Case Cup, hosted by CEMS Club Budapest. A fantastic chance to challenge yourself and collaborate with peers from across the world.
