Central European University
CEU is one of the most densely international universities in the world. Its rare mix of nationalities, ethnicities, and cultures creates an ideal environment for examining such “open society” subjects as emerging democracies, transitional economies, media freedom, nationalism, and human rights. All of the students at CEU are working toward a better, more just and sustainable global society. About the Program
The courses at CEU will strengthen your understanding of complex global issues and historical events through debate with a diverse set of classmates. Building upon your undergraduate coursework, enrollment in master's level classes at CEU will facilitate your personal development as a student in the graduate environment. We hope you will join this select group of students for a unique, challenging, and ultimately life-changing study abroad experience!
