With campuses strategically located in Vienna, Budapest, and New York, CEU remains at the forefront of fostering a vibrant intellectual community.

Aspiring researchers and academics are encouraged to seize the opportunity to contribute to the advancement of knowledge and the ideals of open societies through the transformative 2024 CEU Doctoral Scholarships.
CEU was founded in 1991 by hedge fund manager, political activist, and billionaire philanthropist George Soros, who provided it with an $880 million endowment, making the university one of the wealthiest in Europe, especially on a per-student basis. The university was founded in Central Europe because of a perceived need for an independent and international university for the region, in light of the fall of the Socialist Bloc and concomitant democratization.
Admission into CEU programs is highly selective. In 2021, the admission rate of the university was 13%. As of 2019, 1217 students were enrolled in the university, of which 962 were international students, making the student body the fourth most international in the world.
