Welcome as alumni!
When you complete your studies, you become one of our alumni (former students), and one of our most important ambassadors. You become part of a network offering valuable professional and social contacts. Keeping in touch with the School also helps you to continue your personal and professional development.
A decision has been taken by the University of Gothenburg to delete all alumni in the database who have not actively registered/updated their information. This is due to the European GDPR-data protection legislation. If you want to stay in touch with us, you can re-register via the link above to ensure you continue to get updates from us.
Network, career and lifelong learning
Our alumni activities aim to create value both for you as alumni and for the School. We want to remain part of your lifelong learning, and hope that you will share your knowledge and experience with future generations of students if and when opportunities arise.
Alumni relations involve contact and exchange between the School and its former students. There are numerous benefits to being an alumnus of the School and a member of our Alumni Network. These include:
- Invitations to alumni gatherings in Gothenburg, Stockholm and internationally (e.g. San Francisco and London).
- Invitations to topical lectures given by leading speakers and hosted by the School, both digitally and on site.
- Access to new research via digital publications and online resources.
- News about the School via our digital newsletter and regular posts on social media channels such as our LinkedIn page.
- Opportunity to interact with researchers.
- Opportunity to keep in touch with fellow graduates and secure new contacts at alumni gatherings and digitally via our LinkedIn page.
- Access to our Career Portal and all its job vacancies, exclusive to the School, for up to two years after graduation.
- Help in recruiting new talent or students for thesis work, internships and so on via our Career Service.

Register with the alumni database
To enable us to keep in touch with each other and make sure you don’t miss out on invitations and messages from us, you need to register with our alumni database. Also, do not forget to update your details, for example if you get a new e-mail address.
In 2019 the School of Business, Economics and Law and the rest of the University of Gothenburg launched a new joint alumni database. Even if you have received messages from us before, for GDPR (an EU data protection law) reasons you need to go into our new database and confirm your personal details.
As part of the School’s commitment to sustainability, we are increasingly sending out information electronically. To make sure you don’t miss out on anything, it is important that you enter your e-mail address in the database. The data you submit to the database will only be used by us within the University of Gothenburg.
Being a School of Business, Economics and Law alumnus is entirely free of charge.
About the alumni database
The University of Gothenburg’s alumni database is password protected and shared across the whole university. You need to register in order to stay in contact with us.
