Arqus Alumni: A Lifelong Community
Current students and Alumni are at the heart of the Alliance’s activities – the participation and engagement of all can be promoted in multiple ways. The Arqus Alliance follows a path of engagement of Alumni and current students as change agents, empowering them as leaders, enhancing the Alliance experience through collaboration, partnerships between all the stakeholders.
Alumni Mentorship Programme
The Arqus Alumni Mentorship Programme is an innovative online initiative designed to connect alumni of Arqus universities or Arqus activities with current students and recent graduates from Arqus partner universities. Regardless of their field of study or current profession, alumni offer mentorship, career guidance, and networking opportunities to support students as they transition into the professional world, particularly in transnational contexts.
The mentorship programme is a unique opportunity for Arqus alumni to contribute to the professional growth of future generations. By sharing their experiences, mentors embody the Arqus core values of academic excellence, mobility, and societal engagement, helping mentees develop essential skills, make informed decisions, and work toward their personal and professional goals.
Alumni Talks
The Alumni Talk series aims to support current students and staff in facing career challenges from the professional perspective of alumni. The talks will be held in an online synchronous format and will last between 45 and 60 minutes. The sessions, organised by experts from the different Arqus universities, will focus on topics such as integration into the labour market, starting a career, career progression and others.

Alumni Networking
Creating an alumni network involves building a strong community of former students (Alumni) who stay connected with each other and their alma mater. In the universe of the Arqus Alliance this community takes on a new dimension, with graduates who are specialists in several fields of knowledge and professionalism and who have the opportunity to be connected.
Arqus Alumni can connect with each other through the Arqus Plaza Partnering Platform, which gives them the option of creating a profile and sharing information, and an Alumni Forum for messaging.
