Creating a collaborative working and learning environment is at the core of CEU's vision. Following a multimillion-euro campus refurbishment project, each classroom is equipped with smart-boards as well as microphones and cameras that enable video conferencing with just a few taps. A 200-seat auditorium and a tiered classroom have been created for high-profile lectures and large events.

Outside classroom hours, you will have access to learning and social spaces, including a library, computer and PhD labs, lounges and a cafe.
